Victoria Park/Stampede station (named Stampede station until 1995) is a CTrain light rail station in the Calgary, Alberta, neighbourhood of Beltline, used as a part of the Red Line. The station is adjacent to Stampede Park, the site of the Calgary Stampede. The station opened on May 25, 1981, under the name Stampede Station, as part of the original line.
The station is located on the exclusive LRT right of way, 1 km (0.62 mi) south of the City Hall interlocking beside Macleod Trail just north of 17 Avenue SW.
Victoria Park/Stampede Station used to be the only station on the network to contain 3 platforms. Prior to the replacement of the station, the third platform was used rarely for major events such as Calgary Flames events or Calgary Stampede.
As part of Calgary Transit's plan to operate four-car trains by the end of 2014, all three-car platforms were extended. Construction on a platform extension at Victoria Park/Stampede was completed in the fall of 2013.[1]
The station registered an average of 10,100 weekday passengers in 2007.[2]
