South Pasadena station (formerly Mission station) is an at-grade light rail station on the A Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located at the intersection of Mission Street and Meridian Avenue in South Pasadena, California, after which the station is named. The station opened on July 26, 2003, as part of the original Gold Line, then known as the "Pasadena Metro Blue Line" project.

This station features the adjacent station art sculpture "Astride-Aside" (2003) by artist Michael Stutz. The station has a 122-space park and ride lot, and there is a fee to park.

The original South Pasadena station and freight depot, for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, was demolished in 1954.[2] [3]
