You keep the High Line going

The High Line is almost entirely supported by people like you. As a nonprofit, we need your support to keep this public space free—and extraordinary—for everyone.

On hot summer days, you can find us savoring our time under the High Line's canopy of trees! The Flyover’s shady grove of big leaf magnolias and sassafras trees pictured above are among the more than 1,340 trees that form the High Line’s tree canopy. 🍃 💚

A new study conducted by Climate Central (@climatecentral)—an independent science research nonprofit—shows that the High Line significantly mitigates the heat island effect in New York City. The High Line is on average 7.2°F cooler than the surrounding neighborhoods on Manhattan's West Side! Through the process of transpiration, plants also release cooling water vapor into the air, while other moisture enters the air when water evaporates off of leaf surfaces and soil. The combination of these processes, through which plants work together to cool the air, is known as evapotranspiration.

Ready to kick off the start of summer with a free, full-body workout class? Warm up with this brief tutorial from our instructor, Janeil Mason, and bring a friend to join one of her classes on the High Line!

Incorporating sequences like the ones Janeil just taught us into our daily routines is one of our favorite ways to kickstart a healthy and active day. Open to all ages and fitness levels, Fit and Lit attendees will celebrate rhythm, strength, and self-love. In addition to the moves Janeil just showed us, parkgoers will groove to the beats of Soca, Hip Hop, and Afrobeats. dive right into an exciting cardio warm-up, power through a quick HIIT section, and finish strong with a mindfulness practice.

Janeil's first class of the season on the High Line will be next week, and we hope to see you at the park for one of her classes this summer. Thank you to our friends at @guardianlife—the lead wellness sponsor of the High Line—for their ongoing support and for making it possible to hold these free classes on the park!

Mark your calendars and save your spot for an upcoming class with the link in our bio!

Today is #Juneteenth, which commemorates the day in 1865 when Union troops informed enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, that they were free—two years after President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared freedom for enslaved people in Confederate states. It is also a day to celebrate Black communities and their long and ongoing legacy of contributions to this country. 

The Friends of the High Line team would not be what it is today without our staff, fellows, volunteers, and park-goers from these communities. With recognition of the ways Black America makes this country, this city, and this park more vibrant, we are proud of our organization's commitment to reflecting on and learning from this country's complicated history. Through our ongoing visitor experience and community engagement efforts, we are committed to the year-round critical work of making our park a welcoming place of collective belonging and inclusivity. 

The High Line will be open until 10pm today, and we welcome all New Yorkers and parkgoers who wish to join us out on the park today in celebration of #Juneteenth and the Black communities that call New York home.
