Edgerton Park is a former Rochester Industrial and Rapid Transit Railway station located in Rochester, New York. It was named after Edgerton Park, about 300 feet (90 m) away, where the Monroe County Fair was held each September. Until summer 1938 the station had been named Felix Street.[2] Other destinations at the station included Edgerton Park Arena. The station was closed in 1956, along with the arena and the rest of the line and coinciding with the fair's relocation to new facilities in suburban Henrietta.[3]
