Two side-loading platforms with ramp access from grade level as well as pedestrian crossings are located at both ends of the station. The station is located adjacent to the Mall Entrance 5 of the North Hill Centre shopping mall, and is less than 1 kilometre (0.62 miles) away from the campus of SAIT.
The station is located on the Northwest leg of the Red Line, sitting between SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee Station southbound, and Banff Trail Station northbound. The station acts as a transfer point of the MAX Orange BRT bus line, connecting with the North Hill stop.

Station Upgrades
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.
Calgary Transit, in collaboration with Shaw Communications, announced on November 16, 2016 that 8 new locations for Public Wi-Fi services would be added to the Calgary C-Train system. These new locations would add public Wi-Fi to 18 new stations; including Lions Park Station. These changes ere done as they would improve transit experience for their users, which would improve customer commitment.
