Central Park West-8 Avenue-Fulton Local (Late Nights Only)<116 Street

116th Street is the only IND local stop on the Central Park West Line with a conventional track layout. There are two side platforms on each side of the two express tracks all at one level just beneath the street. The station has columns painted blue and blue name tablets that are like all of the Central Park West (81st Street's renovation was so large that it has trim but not in what would have been the original IND format) local stations has no trim, just 116 tiling towards the top of the platform walls.

Each platform has one exit at its southern end with no free crossover or under provided. Until 2011, there were staffed token booths on either platform, but that year the token booth on the Uptown platform was closed and removed, leaving that platform unstaffed. On the Uptown platform are two exits to the street with streetstairs up to the NE and SE corners of 116 Street and Frederick Douglas Blvd (8 Avenue), the Downtown platform has streetstairs up to the NW and SW corners.

There is evidence of another exit at the northern end of the station to 118 Street but all signage in the tiling saying where it went to has been covered up. There are some tiles though that were definitely applied at a different time because they stand out from the name tablet underneath them. The 118 exits consisted of a smaller fare control area along each platform that led up to a single streetstair up from each platform, on the Downtown platform to the NW corner and the Uptown platform to the NE corner of 118 Street and Frederick Douglas Blvd (8 Avenue). These streetstairs were both slabbed over in 1999.
