History

Plans for a station on Park Lane date back to 1990 as the northern terminus of a Script error: No such module "convert". starter system. Two potential locations for the station were considered: one south of Park Lane near the NorthPark East office complex (since replaced by The Shops at Park Lane), and one north of Park Lane near a (now-closed) United Artists theater.[4] After a 1990 study determined that the line may require grade separation when crossing Park Lane to prevent traffic congestion,[5] DART ultimately chose to build a temporary[6] ground-level platform at the NorthPark East location, which would not require crossing Park Lane until the line was extended further north.

The station opened on January 10, 1997, as the northern terminus of the Red Line.[1] It, along with the Mockingbird and Lovers Lane stations, was originally intended to open 6 months prior, but all stations north of Downtown Dallas were delayed due to issues with a subway tunnel between the Mockingbird and Pearl stations.[7]

Construction on the Red Line's second northern extension, including a bridge over Park Lane and a permanent elevated station, began in April 1999.[8] DART opted to build the new station on the northern side of the road. Local artists Vicki Meek and John Christensen decorated the station with an "urban oasis" theme.[9][10] It opened to passenger service on June 17, 2002, two weeks before the extension to the Galatyn Park station opened, becoming the first elevated station on the DART rail system.[9]

The original station closed, but DART retains it as a private storage corridor. since 2024Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., the original station's platform signage is still present.

In 1997, DART began shuttle service to NorthPark Center, a large mall located on the opposite side of US 75.[11] The shuttle route was discontinued in September 2025 due to falling ridership; DART recommended route 20 or GoLink as a replacement.[12]
