As part of Calgary Transit's plan to operate four-car trains by the end of 2014, all three-car platforms were to be extended. Lions Park Station had the platform extended to the East which also include an additional level crossing of the tracks, as well the pedestrian crossing of 14 Avenue NW was moved along with the platform. Construction started in Fall 2013 and finished in six months. This platform extension required no closures and didn't affect wheelchair ramp access. [1]
In 2008, the station registered an average of 5,800 weekday boardings.[2]
