The Eastern Parkway station was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line in Brooklyn, New York City. It had 2 tracks and 1 island platform and was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line.[4] The station was opened on November 18, 1889, one of three other stations along the line to open on that date.[5] The next stop to the east was Pennsylvania Avenue. The next stop to the west was Atlantic Avenue, which it was in close proximity to.[6] It was even closer to the still existing Sutter Avenue station on the BMT Canarsie Line. It closed on November 17, 1918, and was replaced by Hinsdale Street station.
