One of the newer stations in the San Diego Trolley network, the facility is locally noted for its artwork using California native plants and recycled materials.[1] Parts of the platform are paved with chips of colored used glass, the benches are made of cobblestones excavated from the site during the station's construction, and bench seats are made of recycled plastics.[1] Landscaping includes edible wild strawberries, lemonade berry bushes, and native California wild roses.[1]

The station provides direct service to Qualcomm Stadium.[2]
