It is located under the intersection of Northwest Gate and Steeles Avenue, at the city boundaries of Toronto and Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.

The third—the north entrance in Vaughan—is adjacent to the York Region Transit bus terminal as well as an on-street passenger pick-up and drop-off area.

A large commuter lot with a 1,881-vehicle capacity is situated in the hydro corridor to the north of the YRT terminal.

[8] Unusually, both street entrances lead to separate mezzanine levels, despite both serving as primary points of access (although many stations have secondary automatic entrances), and it is necessary for non-subway riders transferring between TTC and YRT buses to go down to and walk the length of the platform to connect between the two bus terminals.

Enough space has been left between the surface and the platform to allow for the construction of an underground station for a future light rail transit line.

LightSpell, an interactive artwork by German artists Tim and Jan Edler, was installed at Pioneer Village at a cost of $1.9 million.

[12] This installation comprises 40 light fixtures suspended from the platform ceiling, designed to display text messages of up to eight characters submitted by passengers via touchscreens.

[18] On November 27, 2009, the official ground-breaking ceremony was held for the TYSSE project, which included the construction of Pioneer Village station.

[20] Pioneer Village was originally planned to be a temporary terminus for the western arm of Line 1 Yonge–University, which would later be extended to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station.

The award included $412,000 related to the artwork, when the TTC and the artist decided a new rigging was required for aesthetic reasons.
