The gates were designed by Richard Upjohn in [[Gothic Revival]] style. There are four gates in total.<ref name="green-wood_map">{{Cite web|url=https://www.green-wood.com/map-of-green-wood-cemetery/|title=Map of Green-Wood Cemetery|publisher=Green-Wood Cemetery|language=en-US|access-date=July 28, 2019}}</ref> Two are city landmarks: the main gate at 25th Street to the northwest, which is closest to [[South Slope, Brooklyn|South Slope]]/[[Greenwood Heights, Brooklyn|Greenwood Heights]], and Fort Hamilton Parkway to the south, which is in [[Kensington, Brooklyn|Kensington]].<ref name="encnyc" /><ref name="green-wood_map" /> Two additional gates exist. One of these, at 20th Street and Ninth Avenue, provides access from the northeast and is in [[Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn|Windsor Terrace]]. The other, at 34th Street and Fourth Avenue, provides access from the southwest and is located next to [[Sunset Park, Brooklyn|Sunset Park]] and the [[36th Street station (BMT Fourth Avenue Line)|36th Street station]] of the [[New York City Subway]], serving the {{NYCS trains|Fourth center header}}.<ref name="green-wood_map" /> These gates were developed from the 1840s to the 1860s.

==== 25th Street gate ====
The main entrance to the cemetery, a double-gate located at 25th Street and Fifth Avenue near its northwestern corner, was built in 1861–65, though the entrance itself opened in 1862.{{sfn|Quennell Rothschild & Partners|Paul Cowie & Associates|2007|p=15}} It is composed of [[Belleville, New Jersey]] brownstone. The sculptured groups on Nova Scotia limestone panels depicting biblical scenes of death and resurrection from the New Testament including [[Raising of Lazarus|Lazarus]], [[Young man from Nain|The Widow's Son]], and [[Resurrection of Jesus|Jesus' Resurrection]] over the gateways are the work of sculptor John M.

The Fort Hamilton gate is located at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Macieli Place. Similar to the 25th Street gate, it is made of a double gateway made of [[brownstone]]. It is also flanked by two structures, a visitor's lounge and the gatekeeper's residence.{{sfn|Hurley|2016|p=3}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.green-wood.com/2014/we-have-a-winner/|title=We Have A Winner!|date=March 24, 2014|website=Green-Wood|access-date=July 28, 2019}}</ref> The gate was built in 1876 and completed the next year;{{sfn|Hurley|2016|p=9}} it was designated as an official New York City landmark in 2016.<ref name="BKLYNER 2016">{{cite web | title=Landmark Status Official For Portions Of Green-Wood Cemetery | website=BKLYNER | date=April 13, 2016 | url=https://bklyner.com/landmark-status-official-portions-green-wood-cemetery-sunset-park/ | access-date=July 28, 2019}}</ref>

To the east of the entrance is the visitor's lounge, a brownstone building. It is a {{Frac|1|1|2}}-story structure with an entrance located inside a center [[Bay (architecture)|bay]] on the west side of the building. The visitor's lounge contains two side bays, each with a [[porch]], as well as restrooms for men and women. The [[hip roof]] is made of [[Slate|gray slate]] with metal ornamentation along the ridge at the top. The roof slopes down toward the perimeter walls of the building, though each of the four sides of the roof is punctuated by [[dormer]]s with small windows. The corner porches feature stone banisters, and contain four yellow sandstone bas-reliefs sculpted by Moffitt.{{sfn|Hurley|2016|pp=3–4}}

The west side of the entrance, also a brownstone structure, contains the gatekeeper's residence, a {{Frac|3|1|2}}-story structure that is similar in design to the visitor's lounge. Only the center section is {{Frac|3|1|2}} stories, while the two pavilions to the west and east are {{Frac|2|1|2}} stories. The residence's main entrance is through the eastern pavilion, while there is another pavilion on the western facade. Both pavilions have hip roofs of gray slate, and the second floor contains dormers with windows that project from the hip roof. The central "tower" section contains entrances to both the north and south, as well as windows on the second, third, and attic floors that face north and south. The roof of the central tower contains a stone chimney.{{sfn|Hurley|2016|pp=4–5}}
