The station, as well as the nearby landmarks of Hurdman Park, Hurdman Street, and Hurdman Bridge are all named for the early settlers of the region. A small convenience store can be found within the station. Even though the station is busy, Hurdman is also one of the most isolated stations being almost completely surrounded by tall grassy meadows, with only a few, tall apartment buildings nearby (the 3 Riviera towers on Riverside Drive). To the immediate South are two large artificial hills, which cover a one-time industrial landfill.

Service
