    Four stars because it is such an old subway station. However, there must be a way to have better signage, and to scrub out the general smell of urine. I suggest passing through the station as quickly as possible to avoid realizing how under maintained it has become.

    The Park Street train station is a bustling hub of activity located in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts. While the trains can be slow at times, the station is a great place to spend some time and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. One of the standout features of the Park Street train station is the entertainment that is available. The station is home to a number of public performances, including street dancers, musicians, and other performers. These performances are always a delight to watch, and they add a sense of energy and excitement to the station. In addition to the public performances, the Park Street train station is also home to a number of amenities that make it a great place to spend some time. The station has a number of food vendors where you can grab a quick bite to eat, as well as a number of shops where you can buy souvenirs or other items. The station is also well-maintained and clean, which is always a plus. Overall, the Park Street train station is a great place to visit, whether you are catching a train or just looking for some entertainment. While the trains can be slow at times, the station is always worth a visit for its public performances and amenities.

    stop all the hate this train station is the oldest in the US show some respect. And they will upgrade the station and trains so why so much hate? Also this station is pretty convenient for switching lines and going outside the station

    The mbta is literally the worst train service I have ever seen. A donkey with a cart would move a train faster. And clearly be more reliable, also would be on fire less often…

    This MBTA station is close to some of Bostons major tourist attractions. Located near by is the Massachusetts state house, Paramount Centre, Boston Opera House, the Parkman Bandstand, as well as Boston Commons. A little further down (walking distance) is Boston City Hall, the JFK Federal Building and Faneuil Hall. This stop is on the T's Red Line and connects to the Green Line as well (B, C, D, E).

    Park Street station is always very busy but it's easy to access many lines of which to take you anywhere you want to go. The fans just don't help much because it's underground and therefore very hot.

    Park Street Station North going to North Station in Boston. TD Garden is at North Station where Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics play their Home Games. At Park Street Station go up to ground level for access to Tremont Street and Park Street. Cross Tremont Street to Winter Street takes you to Washington Street and Summer Street to Downtown Crossing and to South Station MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak Train service. Red Line to Braintree or Ashmont Stations will take you 2 Stops to South Station. Center Elevator to Center Platform is right hand side of Park Street Station when exiting off of Green Line Train. Red Line ti Alewife Station access on right hand side of Station also. Take you to Station Stops Charles Street/ MGH, and Kendall/ MIT, and Central Square, and Harvard, as well as Porter Station. Same side of Park Street Station is Tunnel to Orange Line.

    Busy and pretty complex station, but not too unintuitive. Finding the Park Street-Downtown Crossing tunnel could be rather tricky, though. Doors open on both sides of the train. Some corners of the station smell awful.

    It's practically near everything. You come out and you're already at Boston Commons. There's many shops and restaurants around and it's near everything you may need.

    Green line calamity. Not even the operators know what train theyre on lol. Constantly switching tracks... Not consistent with Google. Then, of course, explosions. Stay safe.

    Some say that if you could balance all of Massachusetts on the tip of a needle the center would be Park Street station. It's the spiritual and cultural center of all of New England. Whenever I come to town to buy nutmeg wholesale I always take my clients to Park Street station.

    Its better than some stations but could be much better

    Green line is slow, very noisy and unreliable schedule. I usually take B line because I need it to go to BU. Today, they kept a green train stopped for at least 15 minutes between Park Street and Gov. Center, with no explanation to the passengers! awful experience. I wish they keep improving because in general, I've had better experiences with other lines.

    Fast transportation especially changing over for other stations obviously much quicker than the bus or walking and cheaper than a Lyft

    Park Street is better than other stations but still worse than others. It's nice that there is a center island platform on the red line which I wish more stations had, and the new lighting systems are a clear improvement. However my main issue is with the green line, portions of it are way too loud to the point where it can permanently damage hearing and can cause long term stress and other issues. It's similar to Boylston station but with more tracks. I'm not sure what they do at Boylston occasionally to lessen the noise but they should take that same approach to Park Street too.

    There's not much I can add that others have not already said - very nice historic piece of the city of Boston. Definitely needs to be renovated but there is some charm in its lack of renovation.
