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, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform and shelter shed have since been demolished.
