Destination: The High Line

The High Line is New York City's most creatively-reimagined attraction. In 2009, architect James Corner of James Corner Field Operations transformed an abandoned railroad track into a one-of-a-kind elevated urban park. Complete with snack kiosks, waterfalls and large swaths of grass, the High Line is every New Yorker's new favorite escape from the pavement.

What is the High Line?

The High Line is an elevated park in the form of a 1.45 mile walkway along a once-abandoned railroad track. You can access it by taking steps up from street-level, the same way you would any above-ground subway station.

Where is the High Line

The High Line begins in the Flatiron District on Gansevoort Street, and climbs all the to Midtown on West 34th Street.

What is there to do on the High Line?

There are many different activities to enjoy. You can lounge on benches or grass to sunbathe, buy a snack from one of many vendors, snap some pictures of cool art structures, or sit in an observatory window and watch as traffic passes below!
