Canarsie – Rockaway Parkway is the southern terminal station of the BMT Canarsie Line of the New York City Subway, and is one of the few grade-level stations in the system. Located at the intersection of Rockaway Parkway and Glenwood Road in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn, it is served by the L train at all times. It has two tracks and a single island platform. The two tracks end at offset bumper blocks at the south end of the station.
This station is the only one in the system with a bus transfer station within fare control. When the rail service to Canarsie Pier along Rockaway Parkway was discontinued, riders were entitled to a free transfer to the replacement trolleys. Rather than issue paper transfers so riders could exit to the street for the trolleys, a loop was built next to the station with a boarding platform. When the trolleys were discontinued, the B42 bus replaced them.
Train riders walk directly to the bus loading area without leaving the fare control zone. In turn, bus passengers from Rockaway Parkway enter the subway station without paying an additional fare. At the street, a chain link fence gate blocks access to the bus area to prevent pedestrians from sneaking in for a free ride. The gate is operated by an electric trigger. The back of the bus loop contains an unstaffed entrance to the Rockaway Parkway station that is built on a small shack and contains one HEET turnstile, one exit-only turnstile, and one emergency gate.
Other buses serving the station stop at the curb and pick up passengers outside fare control.
On the side of the station house opposite the transfer point is a secondary entrance/exit that contains one HEET turnstile, one exit-only turnstile, and one emergency gate. This unstaffed entrance/exit leads to a municipal parking lot.
Adjacent to the station to the east is the Canarsie Yard.
