The station has side platforms built into the sidewalk. Located under the west approach of the Burnside Bridge at the intersection of Burnside Street and Southwest 1st Avenue, it serves the Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the Portland Saturday Market, and Skidmore Fountain.

(ID number 689)

Closure

Skidmore Fountain station is scheduled to close in August 2025 due to the low number of riders using the station and its proximity to other stations on the Red and Blue lines. The closure was proposed in 2018 as part of a program to improve travel times along the MAX system, particularly in Downtown Portland, and approved by the TriMet Board in April 2024.^[1]
