This is an amazing venue!!!! I was here last night for a film festival, and although I have seen this particular film festival in past years- this venue helped make this year the best!!! I currently live near prospect park in Brooklyn, NY -but was visiting family who live in sparta. I had no idea this train station was even here and was shocked at how spacious it was when I stepped inside. It's very, very well made with lots of historical restoration and charm. Everything from the trim on the windows to the floor looks as if it was done with a lot of craftsmanship. The person who built it is absolutely someone I would hire to do work in my own home based on the level of detail in the space. I'm very into building details and I love the crown molding used on the walls. Very well done.
There is ALOT of parking outside the building, and everything is clean and well kept. It's also centrally located (you can access it easily from the highway).
There's also legit security cameras mounted on the wall and outside. This really was well thought out and made me feel safer.
Train Creative easily and comfortably sits 50+ people as it did last night for the film festival. This would be an amazing place to give a class, teach yoga or do art shows. You could also have a small intimate wedding here framed by the backdrop of the woods...
At the back of the space, there's a large kitchen but I'll be honest, because I'm vegan (for religious reasons) I didn't go back there to see it up close since I was not going to eat anything. However, it was a full kitchen and flowed nicely with the space. You could absolutely have a party here and the setting is very woodsy, and classy. It has a private cottage feel and is nothing like a rental hall. It honestly reminded me a bit of The Barn at Perona Farms. The forest around it gives Train Creative a touch of magic as well.
I would absolutely come back in the future especially to see another film festival. read more
