Science Park (MBTA Station)

Science Park (MBTA Station)

Science Park (signed as Science Park/West End) is an elevated light rail station on the MBTA Green Line and is located at the Boston end of the Old Charles River Dam at Leverett Circle, near the intersection of Nashua Street and Charles Street (Storrow Drive). The station is located on the Lechmere Viaduct, which connects North Station to the Lechmere terminus of the Green Line. Currently, the station is served only by the line's "E" Branch, which runs from Heath Street to Lechmere.

Science Park is one of a small number of elevated rapid transit stations remaining in the MBTA system. (The only others are Beachmont, Malden Center, Wollaston, Charles/MGH, and Fields Corner.) Boston once had several elevated lines, but the Atlantic Avenue Elevated, Charlestown Elevated, Washington Street Elevated, and Causeway Elevated were all torn down in favor of subway and surface-level lines.

Science Park is not served by any regularly scheduled MBTA Bus service.
