is a station along the
Ronkonkoma Branch of the
Long Island Rail Road . It is officially located at Pineaire Drive, Executive (formerly Grant) Avenue, and Long Island Avenue near
Deer Park, New York . The actual location is in
West Brentwood, New York .
Deer Park Station was originally located at the bridge over
New York State Route 231 , until it was moved as part of a major reconstruction project of the line in
Ronkonkoma ,
Central Islip ,
Brentwood ,
Deer Park , and
Wyandanch . The original station was built in 1842, then rebuilt in 1884, and again 1936 for the bridge over Deer Park Avenue (NY 231 did not exist at the time). The 1987-built station was built in close proximity to the former near the
Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center , and actually served as a replacement for both stations. As a result, some people refer to it as "Pine Aire Station" rather than it's given name.
