The station has an island platform located underground on the west side of Baiyun Avenue South.

In addition, there is a storage track at the south end of the platform that extends to Jingtai station. This station serves as the temporary terminus of the West section of Line 12, so Line 12 will turn back after the station through this storage track.

The station has 4 exits for entering and exiting.

This station was not included in the original plan for Line 12. In response to the planning requirements of connecting to the Tangxi Railway Station (now Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station), the western section of Line 12 was detoured to the north, and Yunxi Park Station was added near the original Yunxi Ecological Park.^[3] This station was eventually built and adjusted to be a transfer station with the planned Foshan Line 8 (now Foshan Line 6 [zh]),^[4] but it was not reserved during construction.

In September 2020, the construction company enclosed the construction site.^[5] The station started underground continuous wall construction in January 2021,^[6] the roof was sealed in early July 2023,^[7] and the "three rights" were transferred in April 2025.^[8]

On 8 April 2025, the preliminary name of the station on the west section of Line 12 was announced. The station is proposed to be named Guangzhou Gymnasium station and was officially confirmed the following month.^[9][10]

On 12 June 2025, this station was opened for test rides, serving as the terminus station for the West section of Line 12.^[11] On 29 June the same year, the station was officially opened.^[1]

In the future, Line 12 trains coming from Xunfenggang station will terminate at Higher Education Mega Center South station once the Middle section of Line 12 opens.
