Eastern Parkway was a station on the demolished BMT Fulton Street Line. It had 2 tracks and 1 island platform and was served by trains of the BMT Fulton Street Line.[1] The station was opened on November 18, 1889, one of three other stations along the line to open on that date.[2] 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.[3] It was even closer to the still existing Sutter Avenue Station on the BMT Canarsie Line. It closed sometime between 1912 and 1924 and was replaced by Hinsdale Street Station.
