College Park is a train station in College Park, Georgia, serving the Red and Gold lines of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail system. It opened on June 18, 1988. This station mainly serves College Park and surrounding areas, including Morrow, Riverdale, Clayton County, and South Fulton.
An interesting feature of this station is that the platform is narrower at the north end and wider at the south end, presumably to allow room for the yard leads just south of the station. The narrowing of the platform is most apparent at the north end of the platform.
In 2013, College Station had 9,026 average weekday entries, passing up Lindbergh Center to become the third busiest station, only behind the Airport and Five Points Stations.
College Park Station was opened on June 18, 1988, along with the Airport Station. The Airport Station was built 8 years earlier along with the airport terminal, but remained unconnected until College Park Station was built to connect the two.
College Park Station has 1,883 daily parking spaces and 88 long-term parking spaces. This makes College Park Station a popular destination for those wishing to park and fly.
Service is provided via MARTA bus from this station to Camp Creek Parkway, Camp Creek Marketplace, Georgia International Convention Center, Old National Highway, Southlake Mall, South Fulton Park & Ride, Southern Regional Medical Center, Fairburn, Palmetto, Sylvan Hills, and Union City.
