Jackie Joyner-Kersee Center (also known as JJK Center) is a St. Louis MetroLink station.[2] It is adjacent to the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Youth Center and Jones Park in East St. Louis, Illinois. It is located just west of Metro's 29th Street Yard and just north of Interstate 64's exit 4B. This station has no park and ride lot but does feature a kiss-and-ride turnaround.
