Bay Parkway (originally 22nd Avenue – Bay Parkway) is a local station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway, located in Midwood, Brooklyn at the intersection of Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue above Washington Cemetery. It is served by the F train at all times.
This elevated station, opened on March 16, 1919, has two side platforms and three tracks with the center one not normally used. Both platforms have beige windscreens and brown canopies with green frames in the center and waist-high black steel fences at either ends. The station signs are in the standard black with white helvetica font.
Stations along the three-tracked stretch of the Culver Line, including this station (excluding Ditmas Avenue, which had already been rehabilitated) are being renovated from June 7, 2016 to at least 2017, with the center track being used to bypass the portions of the stations that are under renovation. The entire cost of the station renewal project is $140 million.
This station's only entrance is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. It has two staircases to each platform at their centers, waiting area that allows free transfer between directions, turnstile bank, token booth, and three street stairs. Two of those stairs go down to either northwest corner of McDonald Avenue and Bay Parkway (the southern one is longer since it goes down to the diagonal street of Bay Parkway) while the third goes down to the southeast corner. Both station house balconies have emergency exit doors between the platform stairs and street stairs.
