Memorial Park station is an underground light rail station on the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located at Holly Street and at the end of Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena, California. The station is named after the nearby Memorial Park and is situated on the northern edge of Old Town Pasadena.
Memorial Park station was built in a trench beneath the Holly Street Village Apartments, which was constructed with the trench in 1994 in anticipation of a light rail station at this site. Memorial Park station opened on July 26, 2003, as part of the original Gold Line, then known as the "Pasadena Metro Blue Line" project.
The station features a work of art, The First Artists in Southern California: A Short Story, created by artist John Valadez. The over 100-foot-long (30 m) artwork, fabricated from aluminum, honors cave paintings made by the indigenous peoples of the Pasadena area.
It is one of the A Line stations near the Rose Parade route on Colorado Boulevard and is heavily used by people coming to see the parade. The station is also located near the Rose Bowl Shuttle, which stops at the Parsons Corporation building and offers service to most events at the stadium. During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from the Rose Bowl.
