Location

Wentworth Park light rail station is a light rail station in the Sydney suburb of Pyrmont, located on the Inner West Light Rail line and serviced by L1 Dulwich Hill Line services. It was opened on 11 August 1997 along with the rest of the line from Central and was its original terminus.

Description

Wentworth Park in January 2010

The station serves a residential area in Pyrmont and is located adjacent to Wentworth Park, near to the Sydney Fish Market. Access is available from Wattle Street, Bridge Road and Jones Street. ^[1]

To the west of the stop, a heritage-listed viaduct carries the line over Wentworth Park. To the east, the line loops around Pyrmont, twice passing under the Western Distributor. ^[1]

History

Construction and conversion of the first section of the Rozelle–Darling Harbour Goods Line from Central station to Wentworth Park started on 25 January 1996 and took 16 months to complete. ^[2] The original route opened for public operation with a limited 09:00 to 17:00 service on 11 August 1997 with three weeks of testing. ^{[3] [4] [5]}

The station initially had one platform, located on the northern side of the right-of-way. The two tracks merged into one just up from the station. ^[6]

Buoyed by the success of the original line, a 3.6-kilometre (2.2 mi), four stop extension of the route opened on 13 August 2000. ^{[5] [7]} This saw the light rail reach Lilyfield, which was then the limit of the closed section of the goods line.

Accessibility upgrades were announced in June 2025 in conjunction with the development of the new Sydney Fish Market site. ^[8] Significant residential development is planned adjacent to the station. ^[9]
