Baseball Season Gets Underway; Take the Train to the Game!

Take the LIRR to Mets home games and avoid game day traffic and parking fees! Direct train service to the ballpark is available from Penn Station, Woodside and all stations on the Port Washington Branch.

Customers from Eastern Long Island should consult branch timetables for service to Woodside, where transfers can be made to Port Washington Branch trains on Platform B for service to Mets-Willets Point. Please remember to take your train ticket when transferring at Woodside.

Port Washington Branch trains have been stopping at Mets-Willets Point Station around-the-clock to provide service to the mass vaccination site at Citi Field during non-game hours and will make stops at Mets-Willets Point starting on April 8, opening day, and throughout the regular season for Mets home games.
