Bay Parkway Headhouse

This open-cut station, which opened on June 22, 1915, has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are not normally used. The Coney Island-bound track has been disconnected from the line and the Manhattan-bound track is signaled for trains in both directions. Both platforms are carved into the Earth's crust with the concrete walls painted beige. Light green I-beam columns run along both platforms for the entire length with every other one having the standard black station name plate with white lettering.

This station has two entrances/exits at either extreme ends, both are which are station houses on the overpass above the tracks. The full-time one is at the west (railroad north) end. It has a single staircase from platform, a crossover, and waiting area. Outside the turnstiles, there is a token booth before doors lead out to Bay Parkway and 66th Street. The station house is made of tile and stucco and built within other businesses.

The other station house at the south end is made of patchwork and is un-staffed, containing just HEET turnstiles and exit-only turnstiles. Inside fare control, there is a waiting area, crossover, and one staircase to each platform. The doors outside fare control lead to Avenue O. The distance between Avenue O and Bay Parkway make the platforms much longer than the standard "B" Division train length of 600 feet. As of 2012, all 3 tracks have been replaced with a new track bed and new track panels. This station, along with eight others along the Sea Beach Line, is scheduled for a rehabilitation starting in 2015.
