Park Avenue was a heritage streetcar station in Charlotte, North Carolina. The former at-grade side platform, which was located next to Park Avenue, was a stop for the Charlotte Trolley in South End and nearby Dilworth neighborhood.
History[]
The station began operations on August 30, 1996. Consisting of a platform area along the track, the station operated Thursday through Sunday and then daily on June 28, 2004. After nearly a decade of service, the station was permanently closed on February 6, 2006.The relocation of Bland Street and the already close proximity of East/West Boulevard made Park Avenue redundant and thus unnecessary. By end of 2006, the side platform and structure was razed; what remains at the former location are some brick and concrete foundation and a stone pattern walkway connecting to Park Avenue.[1][2][3][4]
