Chaplin is an underground Toronto subway station on Line 5 Eglinton in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[3] It is located in the Forest Hill neighbourhood at the intersection of Chaplin Crescent and Eglinton Avenue.[4]

The station has three entrances: a main entry at Gilgorm Road and Eglinton Avenue West, next to an expanded Chaplin Parkette and replacing a retail building; a second entrance on the south side of Eglinton between Chaplin Crescent and the Kay Gardner Beltline Park; and a third, also on the south side, about halfway between Chaplin Crescent and Russell Hill Road. The TTC 14 Glencairn bus route will connect at this station.[3]
Destinations include Forest Hill Collegiate Institute, Forest Hill Library, North Prep, the Beltline Trail, Forest Hill Memorial Park, and the Larry Grossman Forest Hill Memorial Arena.
Construction
[edit]Property at 574 Eglinton Avenue West was expropriated for the construction of the main Chaplin station entrance.[5]
In order to accommodate the third entrance, fire station 135 located at 641 Eglinton Avenue West was closed and its eastern portion demolished. The western portion has been retained. The fire hall was built in 1932, and is listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. A replacement fire station was established on the west side of Chaplin Crescent just north of Eglinton Avenue West.[3][6]
By September 2021, electrical and communications systems had been installed and were ready for use between Caledonia and Chaplin stations, although vehicle testing there would be conducted later in 2021.[7]

Architecture
[edit]The station was designed by Dialog and Arcadis, following an architectural concept designed by architects gh3* from Toronto and Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker from Montreal.[8][9] As with other stations on Line 5, architectural features include natural light from large windows and skylights, steel structures painted white, and orange accents (the colour of the line).[8]
