Oxford Park railway station is located on the Ferny Grove line in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[1] It is one of two railway stations serving the Brisbane suburb of Mitchelton, the other being Mitchelton railway station.
History
The station's development arose from public demand claiming there was a need for a station between Mitchelton railway station and Grovely railway station. It has been claimed that the precise location chosen was to facilitate the planned construction of the Catholic Church's Redemptorist Monastery.[2][3]
The station opened in 1920 and was named by the Queensland Railway Department on 9 April 1920. Oxford Park was the name of an adjacent residential subdivision (sold from 1913).[1][2][4]
The station was upgraded in 2008 as part of the Mitchelton to Keperra duplication project.[5]
