Knickerbocker Avenue is a Myrtle Avenue elevated station that's scene better days and could definitely use a renovation. The station has two side platforms for the two track line that has space for a third track between the two existing tracks. Each platform has a single staircase down towards its northern end to a small station house, from this station house two staircases lead down to either side of Myrtle Avenue on the extremely short block between Knickerbocker Ave and Greene Ave. (These streets form a triangle because Myrtle Av)

The station's platforms are fairly wide for most of there lengths and are canopied. The platforms have fairly low-fence that has an extremely old fashioned design towards the northern exit end of the platform, but a windscreens at the southern end of the platform, this seems a bit silly since there on the opposite end of the station from the station's exit. At the northern ends of the platforms beyond the single staircases down to the mezzanine there completely exposed to the elements and quite a bit narrower with this same unusual low fence.

From August 18, 2012 to February 8, 2013: the station was closed for rehabilitation. This rehabilitation including installing modern green and cream full height windscreens for the entire length of the platforms, in some places these windscreens have mesh walls allowing obstrutcted views out to the surrounding landscape. All staircases were rebuilt with modern silver metal handrails. There are white panels in the widscreen where artwork is expected but none has been installed yet when I visited in .
