About Naylor Road Station
Naylor Road Metro station opened on January 13, 2001, as part of the Green Line's Branch Avenue extension. It sits southeast of the intersection of Suitland Parkway and Naylor Road, in Temple Hills, Prince George's County, Maryland — just beyond the southeast corner of the District.
The Green Line's arrival in 2001 brought rapid transit to a stretch of inner Prince George's County that had relied entirely on buses. Naylor Road sits between Suitland (in Maryland, to the south) and Southern Avenue (one stop closer to DC's core), placing it squarely at the intersection of the DC–Maryland border corridor.
A WMATA surface parking lot at the station makes it accessible for drivers coming from the surrounding residential areas who need a convenient park-and-ride option. Metrobus and TheBus (Prince George's County) routes connect at the station, extending its reach into the surrounding communities.
