The station, located near the Castle Hill Showground, serves the Metro North West & Bankstown Line and was built as part of the Sydney Metro Northwest project.

[4] The original plans for the North West Rail Link showed a station called Hills Centre, after the complex of civic buildings of the same name.

Following community consultation, it was determined that the station would be moved to the Hills Centre site – requiring its demolition – in order to retain the Showground.

It is served by Metro North West & Bankstown Line services.

[7][8] Hills Showground station is served by a number of bus routes operated by Busways and CDC NSW.
