Brookpark (RTA Rapid Transit station)

Brookpark is a station on the RTA Red Line located on the borders of Brook Park and Cleveland, Ohio, USA. It is located along Brookpark Road (Ohio State Route 17), west of the intersection of Henry Ford Boulevard (Ohio State Route 291) and east of the intersection of the Berea Freeway (Ohio State Route 237).

It is the westernmost station on the RTA Rapid Transit that includes free parking, and it is the second busiest station on the RTA Rapid Transit, after Tower City. The station includes two large parking lots—the original one east of the station, and a new auxiliary one west of the station.

The station is a temporary structure built in 2003 and is being used while a decision is made on plans to develop the station area. The temporary station has no tunnel or bridge to the island platform, and passengers are required to cross the westbound tracks to reach the platform.

History

The four-mile extension of the CTS Rapid Transit from West Park station to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport was opened in November 1968, but the Brookpark Station was not opened when this extension was opened. The station opened the following spring on April 20. The station lobby and parking lot were originally located on the northeast side of the tracks and connected to the platform by a tunnel extending under the eastbound track and the adjacent tracks of CSX Transportation.
