Out: There is some nice green space outside the station, along with a small park. Some of the buildings include the Parks Dept. After School Program, the Bronx Country Democratic Committee Offices, a grocery store, and a coffee shop. There’s also “Tavern by the Creek” and “Nail Design by Asia ”. Ethnically the area seems part Hispanic and part Black. There are a lot of people here looking to catch buses.
In: On the way to the station from Middletown Rd. , the train passes over the yards for the 6 train. From the train you can also see Cavalry Hospital . The station is in much better condition than others on this branch; or at least it has a newer coat of paint on the stairs and walls. There are frosted glass windows at the middle of the platform, and a big window of stained glass at the entrance. There are also newer tiles on the mezzanine.
