The Gallery @ Green Street[1] was a contemporary art gallery located in a storefront of the station building. It paid no rent, but did install air conditioning and a bathroom in return for the space. [2] It became the home of another gallery, AXIOM,[3] in December 2006.[1]
The station provides access to many parks located in Jamaica Plain. Franklin Park is east of the station, and to its west is Jamaica Pond, part of Boston's Emerald Necklace of parks. The station is also located along the linear Southwest Corridor Park which tracks the Southwest Corridor.
