The High Line is an elevated freight rail line transformed into a public
park on Manhattan’s West Side. It is owned by the City of New York, and
maintained and operated by Friends of the High Line. Founded in 1999 by
community residents, Friends of the High Line fought for the High
Line’s preservation and transformation at a time when the historic
structure was under the threat of demolition. It is now the non-profit
conservancy working with the New York City Department of Parks &
Recreation to make sure the High Line is maintained as an extraordinary
public space for all visitors to enjoy. In addition to overseeing
maintenance, operations, and public programming for the park, Friends of
the High Line works to raise the essential private funds to support
more than 90 percent of the park’s annual operating budget, and to
advocate for the transformation of the High Line at the rail yards, the
third and final section of the historic structure, which runs between
West 30th and West 34th Streets.
