Woodland Park railway station

28 August 1905
  
Opened as Rhuddlan Road

Woodland Park railway station was a station on the Dyserth branch line near a street called Woodland Park. The station opened in 1905 as Rhuddlan Road but changed in 1923 to Woodland Park for the final 7 years of passenger service . The branch line to Dyserth was opened by the LNWR in 1869, initially for mineral traffic only. A passenger service was instituted in 1905 but lasted only until 1930, when it was withdrawn by the LMS. The line remained open to serve a quarry at Dyserth until complete closure in 1973.

Since closure most of the former railway has been converted into a footpath. At the former station site visitors on this walk will notice the ground being higher up on the left when walking from Prestatyn towards Dyserth; this was probably where the platform would have been.
