History

It is unclear when National Park railway station was opened. It consisted of one 80 metre platform with a waiting shelter, and was popular with bike riders on weekends.

The station closed on 23 September 1987[dubious – discuss], when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform and shelter shed have since been demolished.
