The station was opened in 1994 next to the north quay of the Royal Albert Dock. The station was built very close to the site of the former station Central which closed in 1940 and was so named for being half way along the dock estate! [1] The station is built in the middle of, and below, a road roundabout.
Beckton Park is the least used station on the Docklands Light Railway. Access between the platforms is via a footbridge. As with nearly all DLR stations, Beckton Park is unstaffed.
The line dips just before the station
