National Park railway station was a railway station in South Australia located on the Adelaide-Wolseley line in the suburb of Belair and within the boundaries of the Belair National Park.[1][2] It was located 25.8 kilometres from Adelaide station.

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[dubious – discuss], when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. The platform and shelter shed have since been demolished.
