Park Update: 23rd Street Lawn Temporarily Closed
The 23rd Street Lawn is a favorite new gathering space on the High Line, offering open green space for picnicking, sunbathing, and people-watching. Rejuvenation plays a major role in sustaining the Lawn. To this end, the Lawn will be temporarily closed at times throughout the busy season to allow the grass to recover after periods of heavy rain and foot traffic. The Lawn will be temporarily closed and it will reopen as soon as possible. This will help keep the Lawn a welcoming green space all season long.
