The Patterson Station of the SkyTrain system is an elevated station located on the Expo Line in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.

Location

The station is located at the northeastern fringe of Burnaby's Central Park, at the corner of Patterson Avenue and Central Boulevard. A stretch of the SkyTrain line west of the station actually crosses through the park.

History

Patterson Station was built in 1985 as part of the original Expo Line. Even considering its proximity to Central Park - a very lush, wooded park with trails to Swangard Stadium (home to the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer team), the station is primarily used by local residents in the area. This lack of use can also be attributed to its proximity to the Metrotown Station.

Trivia

*This station is located above the old rights-of-way of the now-defunct British Columbia Electric Railway Central Park Line; this line ran from just west of Nanaimo Station all the way to where the current New Westminster Station is located.
*This is the westernmost Expo Line station in Burnaby.
*Patterson Station is where Princess Diana and Prince Charles disembarked after riding the SkyTrain from Waterfront Station during Expo 86.
