The High Line is a 1.45-mile-long linear public park that was built on a historic New York Central Railroad spur above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side and runs from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street on the West Side.

Designed through a collaboration between Diller Scofidio + Renfro, James Corner Field Operations, and Piet Oudolf, the High Line was founded by neighborhood residents in 1999 to prevent the elevated rail track from being demolished and was transformed into a contemporary public space where visitors experience an array of nature, art, and design. The High Line is open daily throughout the year, with seasonal hours.
