Greenbelt is a Washington Metro station in Prince George's County, Maryland on the Green Line. It is the northeastern end of the Green Line.
The station is located in Greenbelt, Maryland (near Berwyn Heights, Beltsville, and the northern part of College Park), off of Cherrywood Lane near the Capital Beltway. With a parking lot of over 3,300 spaces, and with quick access to and from the Beltway, this is an ideal commuter station for both locals and people coming from elsewhere, from the Beltway and from Baltimore. An express Metrobus service, the B30 route, is also available to Baltimore-Washington International Airport, allowing a connection to Baltimore transit services. Service began on December 11, 1993.
MARC trains, on the Camden line, stop at Greenbelt on a set of tracks that are parallel to the Metro tracks.
On the way to Greenbelt station, trains pass Lake Artemesia, which was created as part of the construction of the College Park-U of Md and Greenbelt stations. Sand and gravel excavated from what is now Lake Artemesia were used to construct the track bed and parking facilities at these stations.
