It was one of the two new stations to open on October 9, 2001 as part of the South LRT Extension Phase I. The station was, until June 27, 2004, the southern terminus of the South Line. The station was designed with the former Midnapore train station in mind, being an active replica that is used as part of Calgary's Light Rail Transit system and is currently the only station that serves in such manner.

The station serves the Fish Creek Provincial Park and St. Mary's University College, as well as the neighbourhoods of Midnapore, Shawnee Slopes and Millrise. The station has a center-loading platform with barrier-free access at both ends. The North end connects to the ticket pavilion and the bus terminal. The south end connects to the park-and-ride lot as well as the pedestrian overpass that provides access to St. Mary's University College and Fish Creek Provincial Park. A large 1130 space park-and-ride lot is located on site.

The station platform was originally constructed to 3-car length with room set aside to easily expand to 4-car length when needed in the future. Construction on a Southern extension of the platform started on July 16, 2012 and the new platform extension and relocated track crossing opened on December 15, 2012.

In 2005, the station registered an average of 6,200 boardings per weekday.[1]
