Eastwick is a station along the Airport Line to Philadelphia International Airport. It is within walking distance of the Eastwick Loop of the 36 trolley which is located at Bartram Avenue (PA 291) near 84th Street. It is the sole stop between central Philadelphia and the Philadelphia International Airport Terminals.

Access to the station is granted via a cul-de-sac off of Bartram Avenue and also from Mario Lanza Boulevard. While the station has no official SEPTA parking lot, a number of parking spaces along Mario Lanza Boulevard and Crane Street are used by commuters patronizing the stop.

Eastwick Station, located along the original Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad main line, was conceived as 84th Street, under which name (as "proposed") it appeared on 1984 SEPTA informational maps. The present minimalist station was erected in 1997 in order to serve newly-built local office parks as quickly as possible. SEPTA, along with the City of Philadelphia, plans to expand the station, transforming it into the Eastwick Transportation Center.[1]
