Info
Park Avenue was a station on the BMT Jamaica Line. It had two tracks and an island platform. It was opened on June 25, 1888, and closed on June 5, 1916. The station closed due to proximity to stations at Flushing Avenue and Myrtle Avenue. It was demolished to allow for the Dual Contracts rebuilding of the Jamaica Line. As part of the rebuilding, the line was given a third track, stations were given side platforms, a connection to the Myrtle Avenue Elevated was installed and the elevated was strengthened to allow for subway cars to use the line.
