As part of Calgary Transit's plan to operate four-car trains by the end of 2014, all three-car platforms are being extended. Lions Park Station will have the platform extended to the East which will also see the level crossing of the tracks as well as the pedestrian crossing of 14 Avenue NW moved along with the platform. Construction has started in Fall 2013 and finished in six months. This platform extension required no closures and didn't affect wheelchair ramp access. [1]

In 2008, the station registered an average of 5,800 weekday boardings.[3]
