The High Line is both a nonprofit organization and a public park on the West Side of Manhattan. Through their work with communities on and off the High Line, they're devoted to reimagining the role public spaces have in creating connected, healthy neighborhoods and cities. Built on a historic, elevated rail line, the High Line was always intended to be more than a park. Pedestrians can walk through gardens, view art, experience a performance, savor delicious food, or connect with friends and neighbors - all while enjoying a unique perspective of New York City. The High Line is owned by the City of New York and they operate under a license agreement with NYC Parks.
The High Line’s design is a collaboration between James Corner Field Operations (Project Lead), Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf.
