It serves the north-eastern suburb of Watsonia, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

[5] Like the suburb itself, the station is named after Frank Watson, a local landowner who subdivided his property, Grace Park, into the Grace Park Station Estate.

[6][7] The current station dates back to 1977, when that section of the railway line was lowered to remove a number of level crossings.

[5] During 1988-1989, the present Greensborough Highway overpass, located nearby in the down direction from the station, was provided.

The station features a customer service window, a coffee shop, an enclosed waiting room, and toilets.
