Willow is a station on the Blue line of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It has an island platform, and is adjacent to Long Beach Boulevard near the intersection of Willow Street in the city of Long Beach, California. At this point, going Northbound, the Blue Line route leaves Long Beach Boulevard and enters its own right-of-way (part of Pacific Electric Railway's Red Car right-of-way) allowing the trains to reach higher speeds between stops. Willow is a park and ride station with 920 parking spaces (including a multi-story parking facility) and 10 bike lockers.

Willow and Wardlow stations are the two Blue Line stations closest to the Long Beach Municipal Airport.

The station address is 2750 American Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90806. It is located near the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and 27th Street, with nearest main intersection is Long Beach Boulevard and Willow Street.
