The station is located on a frontage road of Interstate 635 and is operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

[4] The transit center previously shared its parking lot with a Cinemark-branded discount theater, which was constructed alongside the station.

[6] The area was originally serviced by South Garland Park & Ride, a park-and-ride lot located at the intersection of Northwest Highway and Jackson Drive, about a mile east of the current station.

[8] In 1990, seeking to replace the lot, DART selected a 10-acre tract adjacent to Interstate 635 with plans to connect the site to proposed HOV lanes on I-635.

When the landowner refused to sell, DART lobbied the city of Garland to obtain the land on its behalf through eminent domain.
