Fort Hamilton Parkway is a local station on the BMT Sea Beach Line of the New York City Subway, located in Brooklyn at the intersection of Fort Hamilton Parkway and 62nd Street. It is served by the N train at all times.
The northbound platform has metal canopies while the southbound platform has concrete walls and roof. Each end has a crossover. The full-time north exit leads to Fort Hamilton Parkway and 62nd Street while the HEET south exit leads to 11th Avenue and 62nd–63rd Streets. The distance between 11th Avenue and Fort Hamilton Parkway makes the platforms much longer than a typical "B" Division train. The station house's construction is stucco with tile interior.
At this point, the LIRR Bay Ridge Branch runs alongside north of the line.
