History

Parkdale station, like the suburb itself, was named after W. Parker, an early landowner in the area.[4]

A disused signal box is located at the Frankston (Down) end of Platform 1. It was abolished in 1986, when boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the Parkers Road level crossing, also located at the Down end of the station.[2]

On 29 July 2021, the Level Crossing Removal Project announced that the level crossing will be grade separated by 2025.[5] The project will involve building a rail bridge over the road, and will include a new, rebuilt station.[6]
