Fairpark[1][3][2] is a light rail station in Salt Lake City, Utah serviced by the Green Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX system. The Green Line provides service from the Salt Lake International Airport to West Valley City (via Downtown Salt Lake City), and connects with UTA's FrontRunner commuter rail.

Description

The station is located at 1150 West North Temple Street (just south of the Utah State Farigrounds), with the island platform is located in the median of the street. Although not open yet, this station will have a Park and Ride lot with a yet to be announced number of spaces. The station opened on 14 April 2013 and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.

All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, as well as all fixed route buses, are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.[4] Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".[5]
