HIWhat’s better than a walk in the park with a fellow New Yorker? Recently, Friends of the High Line Executive Director Alan van Capelle joined Council Member Erik Bottcher (@ErikBottcherCityCouncil) on the High Line to tour the park’s brand new staircase located at 18th Street and 10th Avenue to check out the features of this new entryway to New York’s park in the sky.
Nestled alongside the 18th Street Billboard, which is a canvas for commissioned artwork by High Line Art, the new stair not only makes the park more accessible to our neighbors but offers unique vantage points of the billboard art and the public plaza below. Designed by the same team as the High Line (Field Operations (@fieldoperations) (Project Lead), Diller Scofidio + Renfro (@diller_scofidio_renfro), and Piet Oudolf (@pietoudolf), the plaza is a great new addition to the neighborhood operated by @NYCParks.
Thanks to our continuing partnership with Council Member Bottcher and the City of New York, we’re able to continue to make the High Line safer and more accessible, with additional new staircases in progress. New York, we hope that you enjoy this new staircase, and if you see either of us in the neighborhood, park, or on this very staircase, we hope you say hello!
