The station is located at 1127 West 7800 South and is accessible from that road. The station is situated just west of the Jordan River east of the historic West Jordan Ward Meetinghouse and the West Jordan City Cemetery. The historic Gardner Mill and the Gardner Village shopping area are across the street to the north. The station also provides access to the Jordan River Parkway trail. The station has a Park and Ride with about 130 free parking spaces available, but there are possible plans for an additional 120 parking spaces that would be shared with Gardner Village.[1][4] In the early planning stages, the station was referred to as "Gardner Village", but later changed to the current name.[3][5] The station opened August 7, 2011 as part of the Red Line (Mid-Jordan) and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.[2]
