History
![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2017) |
The station opened in 1969 as Green Field, later changing to Greenfields.[when?]
It is one of only two stations on the Gawler Central line to have a pedestrian underpass (the other is Parafield Gardens). The other stations have had theirs closed due to concerns with safety and vandalism.[citation needed] To the west of the station lies the Australian Rail Track Corporation standard gauge line to Crystal Brook.
In 2021 it has received several upgrades including a deep cleaning, fresh coat of paint, LED lighting and new bins. This is apart of the State governments station refresh program.
