Fenway is a stop on the D branch of the MBTA Green Line. It is located in the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood of Boston Massachusetts, under Park Drive near The Riverway. Named after the Fenway parkway rather than Fenway Park, it is not the nearest station to the stadium - Yawkey commuter rail and Kenmore Green Line station are closer. Despite this, it was popular during Red Sox home games through the 2006 season due to the free outbound trips to Riverside not found at Kenmore station. After 2006, the MBTA started collecting fares on outbound trips and the station's popularity declined.
In June, 2007, the MBTA constructed a new siding at Fenway station to assist with the loading and unload of Fenway Park passengers.

The station is currently accessible; Fenway Station also provided accessible service to Fenway Park, as Kenmore station was not accessible. As of 2011, Kenmore station has been extensively remodeled, and now is fully accessible.
Fenway Station is a proposed stop on the MBTA's planned Urban Ring Project.[1] The Urban Ring will be a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Line designed to connect the current MBTA Lines to reduce strain on the downtown stations.
