The station opened on 17 February 2014.[1][2] Unlike the former Showground Central station, which was only used during the Royal Adelaide Show, Adelaide Showground station is serviced every day as a regular part of the Belair, Flinders and Seaford lines.[3][4][5] The interstate Adelaide Parklands Terminal is located nearby.
In late 2016, the station was ranked as the best station in the western suburbs based on five criteria.[6] The reasons cited included: "Excellent condition in regard to all items, reflecting the recent construction and good upkeep since. No toilets. There are relatively few seats."
