Douglas Road station serves as a stop on the Metrorail rapid transit network, positioned just southwest of Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida. It holds the distinction of being the southernmost Metrorail station located within the boundaries of the city of Miami, although its address corresponds to Coral Gables. The station is situated at the intersection of Douglas Road (West 37th Avenue) and South Dixie Highway (US 1), approximately three blocks south of Bird Road (SW 40th Street). The facility commenced operations on May 20, 1984.

During the early 2020s, the vicinity around the station experienced notable transit-focused residential development, including The Link at Douglas, which introduced towers exceeding 20 stories in height, thereby strengthening the integration between real estate and public transit in the area.

Station layout

This station comprises two tracks serviced by a single island platform. Adjacent to the platform on the northwest side, there is a parking area designed to support commuter access.
