Unley Park railway station is a station on the Belair railway line located 7.0 km south of Adelaide Railway Station. It is located on the boundary between Hawthorn and Westbourne Park, on the south side of Cross Road. It is located 7.0 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.
It was temporarily closed in 1995 when one set of tracks through the station was converted to standard gauge for interstate trains. The former up (western) platform was demolished at the time of this change.
The station is an interchange point with the Circle Line Bus (route 100).
The adjacent stations are Goodwood and Mitcham. Prior to 1995, the adjacent stations were Millswood and Hawthorn; both of these stations were closed when the western track was converted to standard gauge (in 1995).

[edit] References and notes
- ^ All stations on the Belair railway line from Goodwood to Belair were closed between April and August 2009 while the line was upgraded.
- ^ Note that the western platform has been removed (at great expense). Due to public outcry, removal of the western platforms at other stations was abandoned, and the allocated funds used for other purposes deemed to be "more useful".
Note further, however, that in recent years the Australian Rail Track Corporation[citation needed], concerned about the risk of the closeness of these western platforms to their passing trains, have been systematically removing them.
