== Station layout ==
This three-track express station has a layout unique in the system. From compass north to south, it is arranged: southbound side platform, southbound local track, bidirectional express track, island platform, northbound local track, northbound side platform. Fordham Road station on the IND Concourse Line in the Bronx has a similar layout: a split island platform as well as an unsplit island platform, but the Mets – Willets Point station is the only station in the subway system with this particular setup. The diagram above portrays the setup used.
Trains running northbound (toward Main Street) normally open their doors on the island platform; the northbound side platform is used only during Mets games and events at the National Tennis Center, such as the U.S. Open. On the south side of the station, a ramp connects the mezzanine and the northbound side platform to a footbridge, known as the Passarelle Boardwalk, which passes over Corona Yard and connects to Mets – Willets Point commuter rail station on the LIRR Port Washington Branch, before entering the grounds of the National Tennis Center. A full-length wooden mezzanine is located underneath the tracks and platforms. The north side of the station has a stairway leading directly to Citi Field's Jackie Robinson Rotunda.
Some evening rush hour 7 local trains terminate at this station by using the express track. West of the station, there are switches between the local tracks, the express track, and the northern layup track to 111th Street. East of the station, switches allow trains on the express track in either direction to switch to the local track, but not vice versa.
