Washington Park MAX Station
Audio Transcript
From the streetcars of the 19th century to Rose City Transit and then TriMet’s more than 50 years of service, there’s a rich history of serving one of our city’s treasures, Washington Park, and the greater Portland community. In 1998, TriMet built the Washington Park MAX Station, which is the deepest transit station in North America at 260 feet below ground, as part of our Red Line.
Washington Park also is the only underground station in the entire MAX system. A few years ago, TriMet invested 2-point-1 million dollars to renovate the station that features Washington Park-themed murals along the Robertson Tunnel walls, energy efficient LED lighting, and upgrades to the elevator lobby. TriMet looks forward to many more years in helping people to travel there on our buses and trains to enjoy its natural beauty and abundant cultural opportunities
“Washington Park also is the only underground station in the entire MAX system.”
And finally, Happy 150th Birthday to Washington Park! That’s quite a milestone. We are so proud to be the Park’s transportation partner, together witnessing how life moves in our region.
