As a feature of the station, the curved roof supported by decorative red and green beams took inspiration from traditional Chinese architecture.

[17] The issue was promptly fixed by relocating the taxi stand from Yuan Ching Road to the main entrance of the station.

Following a rise in track intrusions as well as commuters slipping when rushing for the train, the LTA and SMRT decided to install platform screen doors.

[21] After several successful tests at Jurong East, Yishun, and Pasir Ris, half-height platform screen doors were eventually installed and commenced operations at Lakeside station by March 2012.

[23] Noise barriers were installed on the viaducts from Lakeside MRT station to Corporation Road by CKT Thomas Pte Ltd[24] as part of $17 million contract awarded in January 2015 to reduce sounds generated by trains.

[36] The station runs alongside Boon Lay Way[2] and has three exits primarily serving the Hong Kah and Taman Jurong residential precincts.

It also serves amenities such as Yuan Ching Secondary school, HDB Jurong West Branch, and Hong Kah South Neighborhood Police Post (NPP).

[39] The design is noted to be similar to the nearby Chinese Garden station, whose roof is held by "chili-green and hongbao-red" decorative beams.
