HIGH LINE RINK

Next week, open the HIGH LINE RINK!

Made for All by UNIQLO, a new, outdoor rollerskating rink under the High Line. Open for a limited time this summer, from Thursday, July 28 to Monday, September 26. 

The High Line Rink will be one of the only open-air rollerskating venues in Manhattan, with regularly scheduled theme nights and other fun public activities for New Yorkers and visitors of all ages. Admission will be free for the first 500 people on the first three days of operation thanks to UNIQLO.

Designed by DILLER SCOFIDIO = RENFRO AND JAMES CORNER FIELDS OPERATIONS, in partnership with HWKN, the High Line Rink comprises 8,000 square feet within The Lot ( a temporary public plaza below the High Line with free events, family activities, an outdoor bar, food trucks and more for the summer of 2011. The Lot is located below the High Line on the southwest corner of

West 30th Street

and

10th Avenue

in Manhattan. Operating hours are 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Sunday through Wednesday, and 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM Thursday through Saturday).

The High Line Rink expands the existing public amenities at The Lot, which include a rotating series of food trucks, a beer and wine bar, and an ongoing series of free public events.

The High Line Rink will be operated by Friends of the High Line and United Skates of America. Regular admission to the High Line Rink will cost $10 for children under age 13 and $12 for adults. Children under age 13 must be accompanied by an adult. The admission fee will be waived for non-skating parents or guardians accompanying children under age 13. The admission fee will include a pair of rental skates, and will not be waived for guests who would like to use their own rollerskates and rollerblades. A portion of the proceeds from admission fees will support the ongoing maintenance and operations of the High Line, which is funded entirely by private funding raised by Friends of the High Line.

Rollerskaters at the High Line Rink will have the opportunity to shop at the UNIQLO Cube that will be glowing adjacent to the High Line Rink. Customers at the UNIQLO Cube can purchase 100% pure luxurious cashmere in a large array of colors; premium top quality ultra light down jackets; innovative world renowned inner wear Heattech; or the cool UT (UNIQLO T-Shirts) which feature collaborative designs from popular Japanese manga characters, Barbie and the Save Japan!
