History
It is unclear when National Park railway station was opened. It consisted of one 80 metre platform with a waiting shelter, and was popular with bike riders on weekends.
The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform and shelter shed have since been demolished.

gollark: osmarks.tk actually works as a PWA, so you can add it to your homescreen.
gollark: I mean, I could automatically try all letters, then all words.
gollark: > There's a way to create some kind of webapp (ie. an executable that opens the browser in a popup-like styling with just the website, in some browsers even with custom window icon etc) but it's well hidden and only for powerusers.PWAs. Those are NOT VERY HIDDEN on mobile platforms.
