The High Line is a public park on the West Side of Manhattan operated, maintained, and funded by the nonprofit conservancy Friends of the High Line. Through our work with communities on and off the High Line, Friends of the High Line is devoted to reimagining public spaces to create connected, healthy neighborhoods, and cities.
Built on a historic, elevated rail line, the High Line was always intended to be more than a park. You can walk through the gardens, view art, experience a performance, enjoy food or beverage, or connect with friends and neighbors—all while enjoying a unique perspective of New York City.
Nearly 100% of our annual budget comes through donations. The High Line is owned by the City of New York, and we operate the park under a license agreement with NYC Parks.

Learn about the time when the High Line was a wild landscape hidden on the West Side, and how the community rallied to open it for the public.
The visionary team responsible for the park features and landscape was inspired by both the industrial and the natural history of the elevated structure.
Friends of the High Line is led by dedicated professionals who bring broad expertise to fulfilling our mission, and overseen by our Board of Directors.
