The station is located in the northeastern section of the developing Blatchford community, and west of the Westwood neighbourhood.

[1] The station was completed in December 2023[2][3] as part of 1.6 km (0.99 mi) Metro Line Northwest Phase 1 extension.

[10] Future Metro Line extensions are planned to continue north of the station into Northwest Edmonton.

The entire extension through Blatchford will be on a transit mall with shared use paths and bike lanes running adjacent to the train tracks.

When operational these solar panels will provide renewable energy to the heated shelters, mechanical components and lighting at each of the stations.
