Melrose/Cedar Park is an MBTA Commuter Rail station in Melrose, Massachusetts. It serves the Haverhill/Reading Line, and is located in the Cedar Park section of Melrose slightly northwest of the downtown area. Historically the primary station in Melrose, it has always been supplemented by nearby Wyoming Hill station and Melrose Highlands station.[2] As with the other two MBTA rail stations in Melrose, it would have become a station on the Orange Line extension north to Reading, had that project not been cancelled due to lack of funding.

Melrose/Cedar Park station has two low-level platforms serving the line's two tracks; it is not handicapped accessible.
