[1] It is located on a frontage road of North Central Expressway (US 75) and is named for the adjacent Galatyn Park Urban Center development.

The station is adjacent to the Charles W. Eisemann Center for Performing Arts and a portion of Richardson's Telecom Corridor, which includes offices for AT&T, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, GEICO,[1] Goldman Sachs, and CBRE Group.

The Campbell Road station was not intended for the initial corridor, being deferred to a second build-out phase.

[5][6][7] DART agreed to move the Campbell Road station to Galatyn Park and to include it in the initial build-out.

[9] In tribute to the Telecom Corridor, the station was decorated with a technology theme, featuring abstract satellite dishes, bundles of steel resembling communication wires, stylized circuit boards, and panels that spell "GALATYN PARK" in Morse code, analog signal, and teletype.
