It was rebuilt in the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway "Double Pavilion" style in 1884, on the west side of the level crossing.

Kiveton Park was a centre of lime working in the area, and many company sidings came under the jurisdiction of its Station Master.

Kiveton Park Colliery was located to the west of the station, and was rail-connected until its closure in 1994.

Along with neighbouring Kiveton Bridge station, it was completely rebuilt during the early 1990s with modern platforms, lighting and waiting shelters, this work being funded by the South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive.
