Woodland Park railway station was a station on the Dyserth branch line near a street called Woodland Park. The station opened in 1905 as Rhuddlan Road but changed in 1923 to Woodland Park for the final 7 years of passenger service . The branch line to Dyserth was opened by the LNWR in 1869, initially for mineral traffic only. A passenger service was instituted in 1905 but lasted only until 1930, when it was withdrawn by the LMS. The line remained open to serve a quarry at Dyserth until complete closure in 1973.^[1]

Since closure most of the former railway has been converted into a footpath. At the former station site visitors on this walk will notice the ground being higher up on the left when walking from Prestatyn towards Dyserth and this was probably where the platform would have been.
