Out: At corner of Sagamore St. & Birchill Ave. The area looks pretty desolate. There is a park nearby (no doubt related to the stop’s name) as well as some tenements. There are also some 3-story apartment buildings with unattractive awnings and attached garages, which is a bit surprising. There are some auto parts stores and ramshackle buildings in nearby lots. Not too much activity at this time of morning, overall.
In: Elevated station, partly renovated; some parts of the platform are concrete while other parts are tiled. There is also stained glass depicted birds. From the platform it’s possible to see the 5 tracks about a block away. It looks like there is some type of hospital just to the west of the station, but it may just be an institutional-looking set of apartments. The façade of the station house is a little run down.
