Although not open yet, this station will have a Park and Ride lot with a yet to be announced number of spaces. Like many other UTA stations, this station has art work included in its design. The art work for the Fairpark station is murals that include various images depicting the history of the area.

The station opened on 14 April 2013 and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. It is also one of four TRAX stations (all of which are located the north end of the Green Line) that is powered by solar panels located on top of the station's canopy through a project which was initially funded in part by Rocky Mountain Power.[4]
