Station layout

University Park has an underground mezzanine containing ticket vending machines as well as parking token machines. The platform serves two tracks. Both tracks continue into the yard, however, due to the frequency of the Metra Electric District, most trains do not continue into the yard. On the platform, two 24/7 shelters are available. Trains board on both sides of the platform, however, most trains departing to Chicago board from the inbound side.
