Edgewood / Candler Park is an elevated rapid transit station located in Atlanta, Georgia on the Blue Line of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) rail network. It functions as the weekday terminus for the Green Line; however, on weekends, Green Line trains conclude service two stops west at King Memorial. The station commenced operations on June 30, 1979.
Initially, this station was intended to serve as the final link between the Eastbound Train (currently the Blue Line) and the Proctor Creek Lines (now the Green Line), facilitating both track divergence and passenger transfers. Plans for additional stations such as Emory and Druid Hills were ultimately abandoned, along with a proposed Green Line extension to Perry Homes; only the Bankhead station was completed from these projects.
The station primarily caters to the neighborhoods of Edgewood, Kirkwood, and Candler Park, offering bus connections to destinations including Villages of East Lake, Edgewood Retail District, Ponce City Market, Little Five Points, and Downtown Kirkwood.
