The station is at Central Avenue and Thatcher Avenue. The surrounding neighborhood is mostly characterized by single-family homes, baseball fields and tennis courts. Pace suburban buses stop one block to the north on Lake Street. To the east is an overpass that carries the Canadian National Railway's Waukesha Subdivision into Forest Park where the line rechristens itself to the CSX Altenheim Subdivision (B&OCT). The station building was originally built in 1915 by the Chicago and North Western Railway and is also the River Forest Park District headquarters. The station has recently undergone renovations. The inbound platform was rebuilt along with the stairways. (en)
