College Park is a lightly used Caltrain station in San Jose, California. It is served by two trains in each direction Monday through Friday, and no train stops there on weekends or holidays. It is in Caltrain Fare Zone 4. College Park serves Bellarmine College Preparatory, a boys' secondary school, resulting in the school-related service times.

History

Before Caltrain, College Park was a station on Southern Pacific's Peninsula Commute line, in fare zone 6 (brown). It is mentioned in Jack London's 1903 novel The Call of the Wild.

In August 2005, service was reduced from 12 daily trains to four.

Due to the small size of the station, only two cars within a 5-car train are capable of opening their doors to allow passengers to board/disembark.
