As seen from the Calumet Trail, Dune Park Station is nestled in the woods next to the main entrance to the Indiana Dunes State Park. The station building is divided into two halves. The eastern half has a waiting room with restrooms and vending and a Transit Police station. The western half is the corporate offices for the NICTD.

Looking eastbound along the platform at Dune Park. The siding is not electrified and is only used by freight trains. A high level platform is planned for this station. Instead of a gauntlet arrangement, freight trains will be restricted to using the siding to keep them away from the platform edge.

Looking westbound along the platform toward the signals at CP 43.7.

Looking eastbound toward the signals at Tremont Road (CP 43.0). (The eastbound main track signal is not shown behind the poles. The signal in the center of the rails is the back of the westbound signal.)
