History

edit

The station was opened by the Belfast and County Down Railway on 1 May 1905.[1] It saw little use during its lifetime, and by the time it was closed by Northern Ireland Railways in 1988, few trains were stopping.

Victoria Park itself is still accessible by rail from the nearby Sydenham station.
