Cleveland Park is an island platformed Washington Metro station
serving the Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C., United States.
The station was opened on December 5, 1981, and is operated by the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
Providing service for the Red Line, the station is located on the 3500 block of Connecticut Avenue.
The station opened on December 5, 1981. Its opening coincided with the completion of 2.1 miles
(3.4 km) of rail northwest of the Dupont Circle station and the opening of the Van Ness–UDC and
Woodley Park–Zoo stations.
Architecturally, Cleveland Park is similar to other stations along the underground stretch of the
Red Line between Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan and Medical Center.
Because of the high cost of the waffle design and the relative large depth of these stations,
pre-fabricated concrete segments were shipped to the construction site and placed together to
form the structure of the station.
This resulted in what is now known as the "Arch I" station design of the Washington Metro.
