Park Place Station · Opened 8/1/1918

Next is Park Place. This is a fairly deep station with a narrow island platform. It is underneath the 8th Avenue IND, which runs geographically north/south, over our east/west tracks. At the east end is a long escalator, and a closed stairway with a mechanical room over the platform. Most of the station has a high ceiling. The only mosaic is a small "P" on the trackside walls.

Some relative depths of stations in the World Trade Center complex are as follows, +/- 10 feet.

  • A/C Chambers St. Platform, 20 feet below street
