When it opened in 1934, the elevated track was heralded as “one of the greatest public improvements in the history of New York.”By the 1960's, however, the railway was ceding power to the interstate highway system as the preferred means of moving freight, and the last train ran down the High Line in 1980.
When was the High Line park built?
The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan's West Side. Saved from demolition by neighborhood residents and the City of New York, the High Line opened in 2009 as a hybrid public space where visitors experience nature, art, and design.
Who funded the High Line?
Nearly 100% of our annual budget comes through donations from people like you, who help us operate, maintain, and program the park. The High Line is owned by the City of New York and we operate under a license agreement with NYC Parks.
