Location

Central Park is an elevated metro station on the East–West corridor of the Green Line of the Kolkata Metro, serving the eastern neighbourhood of Bidhannagar in West Bengal, India. The station is situated above 3rd Avenue, between Central Park and Bikash Bhawan, in Sector I of Salt Lake. It provides access to Central Park, surrounding residential areas, and a cluster of nearby government offices, and is regularly used by commuters, local residents, and visitors travelling within the planned township and to other parts of the Kolkata metropolitan area.

Station Layout

The station layout at Central Park is unusual compared to a typical metro design. Instead of having a separate mezzanine level between street and platforms, the platform and fare control functions are essentially on the same 1st-floor level, so passengers go from ground (G) straight up one level and reach the platforms and ticketing area together. There is no need to pass through an intermediate concourse. For changing sides or crossing the tracks, passengers use the dedicated foot-over-bridge (FOB) that serves as the crossover, rather than an internal mezzanine concourse.
