Station layout
This elevated station opened on May 1, 1920, and was renovated during the reconstruction of Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue between 2001 and 2004. It has one island platform and two tracks. The platform has a brown canopy with green frames and support columns in the center and black lampposts at either ends. The station signs are in the standard black plates with white lettering.
The 2004 artwork here is called Looking Up by Michael Krondl. It features stained glass panels on four of the station's sign structures depicting images related to Coney Island, including the Cyclone.
The original name of this station was Van Sicklen, named for the family that owned the property through which the original surface right-of-way passed, and that operated the Van Sicklen Hotel at the location. The name was changed to Neptune Avenue in 1995.
Exits
This station has one elevated station-house beneath the center of the platform and tracks. Two staircases from the platform go down to a landing, where a set of doors for each one leads to two more staircases that go down to the mezzanine. The mezzanine has a turnstile bank, exit-only turnstile, token booth, and two staircases going down to either side of West Sixth Street north of Neptune Avenue.
