181st Street, once also known as 181st Street–Fort Washington Avenue, is a station on the IND Eighth Avenue Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the A train at all times. 181st Street opened on September 10, 1932, and has two tracks and two side platforms. It is located deep below the surface due to the area's hills. The station has three separate entrances. Two are on Fort Washington Avenue: one at 181st Street at the foot of Fort Washington Hill; and one at 184th Street in the Hudson Heights neighborhood atop the hill opposite Bennett Park, the highest natural point in Manhattan. The third entrance is at 184th Street and Overlook Terrace, also at the bottom of the hill. The entrance from 181st Street connects to the station via escalators, while the entrance from the top of 184th Street connects to the station and the Overlook Terrace entrance via an elevator connection that is free to the public.
