New Station
The new Sylvia Park station was funded by the builders of the mall and built by ARTNL/ARTA. The new station opened to the public on Monday 2 July 2007. The station cost NZ$5 million to build.
The station has a fairly high patronage, mainly people going shopping at the Sylvia Park Shopping Centre.

An earlier station was opened at the site in 1930 and closed during the World War II period (1940-1945), due to the American government buying the land next to the railway and using it for army sheds.
Another station with the same name existed approximately 1 km west of this site. Passengers were mostly for the adjacent Westfield Freezing Works until 1986 when it was closed due to lack of patronage.
Services
