Fort Hamilton Parkway is a local station on the IND Culver Line of the New York City Subway. There are two tracks and two side platforms. The express tracks, which are not used by any regular service, are beneath the station.

The full-time, northern entrance is by Greenwood and Prospect Avenues, with two street staircases and a block-long passageway to Reeve Place for one additional street staircase. There is a closed staircase that would have led to a fare control area at platform level at the Manhattan-bound side. This area is gated shut, and about half of the space is taken by station facilities with additional tiles. The south end exit is to Fort Hamilton Parkway and has 24/7 HEET access and a former booth. The only exit at this end is a ramp (no staircase) that runs along the western side of the Prospect Expressway, up and down a small hill. This exit replaced the original 1933 staircase exit, as when Robert Moses built the expressway, the work also required relocating this exit. From the mezzanine area, one can see the variation in tile colors and styles when the new entrance was added in 1962, coinciding with the opening of the expressway. This can be seen when facing the ramp.
