Metropark station, NJ Transit rail station in Iselin, New Jersey
Metropark station is a commuter and regional rail stop in Woodbridge Township, New Jersey, situated along the busy Northeast Corridor. It has several tracks and platforms serving trains heading toward New York Penn Station to the north and Philadelphia to the south.
The station opened in 1969, built to serve the growing number of commuters as large office parks were developed in the surrounding area. It was upgraded over the following decades to handle a steadily rising number of passengers.
The name Metropark comes from the nearby office and business complex that draws many commuters to the area. The station feels most alive during morning and evening rush hours, when workers travel between central New Jersey and New York.
The station is served by both NJ Transit and Amtrak, so it is worth checking which service fits your route before you go. A large parking garage is attached to the station, making it easy to drive there and continue by train.
Although located in a suburban area, the station is also served by Amtrak long-distance trains, which is unusual for a stop outside a major city. This makes it a convenient starting point for trips along the East Coast without having to travel into New York or Philadelphia first.
