This station opened on June 22, 1915, along with the rest of the Sea Beach Line.[2]
As of 2012[update], all three tracks have been replaced with a new track bed and new track panels.[4] From January 18, 2016, to May 22, 2017, the Manhattan-bound platform at this station was closed for renovations and a temporary wooden platform was placed over the Coney Island-bound express track for the Manhattan-bound service.[5][6][7] The Coney Island-bound platform was closed from July 31, 2017[8][9] to July 1, 2019.[10] During this time, all southbound trains used the northbound express track and the temporary platform, with short-turn W trains terminating here instead of their normal terminus at Gravesend–86th Street.[11]

This open-cut station has four tracks and two side platforms. The two center express tracks are not normally used. The Coney Island-bound track has been disconnected from the line and the Manhattan-bound track is signaled for trains in both directions. Both platforms are carved into the earth with the concrete walls painted beige. Beige (previously blue-green) columns, a few of which being I-beams, run along both platforms for the entire length with every other one having the standard black station name plate with white lettering.
This station has two entrances/exits at either extreme ends, both of which are station houses on the overpass above the tracks. The full-time one is at the west (railroad north) end. It has a single staircase from platform, a crossover, and waiting area. Outside the turnstiles, there is a token booth before doors lead out to Bay Parkway and 66th Street. The station house is made of tile and stucco and built within other businesses.[12]
The other station house at the south end is made of patchwork and is un-staffed, containing just HEET turnstiles and exit-only turnstiles. Inside fare control, there is a waiting area, crossover, and one staircase to each platform. The doors outside fare control lead to Avenue O.[12] The distance between Avenue O and Bay Parkway make the platforms much longer than the standard B Division train length of 600 feet (180 m).[citation needed]
