40th Ave & Airport Blvd–Gateway Park station (sometimes stylized as 40th Ave & Airport Blvd•Gateway Park) is a Regional Transportation District (RTD) commuter rail station on the A Line in Aurora, Colorado. The station is the fifth eastbound station from Union Station in Downtown Denver and second westbound from Denver International Airport. It is about 23 minutes from Union Station and 14 minutes from Denver Airport.

40th Ave & Airport Blvd–Gateway Park station is also served by several bus routes and was integrated into a preexisting 1,079-space park-and-ride lot at the station site.

The station opened on April 22, 2016, along with the rest of the A Line.

Station layout

40th Ave & Airport Blvd–Gateway Park station is accessible via Salida Street. It has a bus bay directly adjacet to the eastbound platform as well as a large park-n-ride. Riders of westbound trains must cross tracks to exit the station as there is no access to the station from the west.

Public art

40th Ave & Airport Blvd–Gateway Park station features a public art piece titled Time Present as a part of RTD's Art-n-Transit program. The sculptures, painted by Molly Dilworth, consist of painted metal polyhedrons. The piece sits at roughly 50 feet wide and 12 feet tall and is mounted on the station's east platform wall. Time Present was inspired by Buckminster Fuller and said to honor experimentation, innovation, and future problem solving.
