Ropes Creek railway station was the terminus station of the Ropes Creek line, in Sydney, New South Wales, opening on 29 June 1942, after the line was extended past Dunheved to serve the St Marys Munitions factory. It was named after Ropes Creek, a waterway nearby. The station consisted of an island platform, a waiting room, and a footbridge for public access. It closed along with the line on 22 March 1986.[1]
After the station building was destroyed by fire in June 2011, the site was redeveloped as cultural park with the platform retained.[2]
