Villa Park is aMetra commuterrailroad station inVilla Park, Illinois, a western suburb ofChicago. It is served by theUnion Pacific West Line and lies 17.8 miles (28.6 km) from the eastern terminus.[2] Trains go east toOgilvie Transportation Center in Chicago and as far west asElburn, Illinois. Travel time to Ogilvie ranges from 43 minutes on local trains to 31 minutes on express trains, with faster times during peak hours. As of 2018[update], Villa Park is the 59th busiest of the 236 non-downtown stations in the Metra system, with an average of 870 weekday boardings.[1] Unless otherwise announced, inbound trains use the north platform and outbound trains use the south platform.

As of September 8, 2025, Villa Park is served by 54 trains (27 in each direction) on weekdays, by all 20 trains (10 in each direction) on Saturdays, and by all 18 trains (nine in each direction) on Sundays and holidays.

The station is on ground level, at North Ardmore Avenue and West Terrace Street, with parking lots north and south of the tracks. Villa Park's commercial district is centered on Ardmore Ave. and Saint Charles Road, several blocks south of the station. AnotherVilla Avenue station, which was built by theChicago, Aurora, and Elgin Railroad in 1929, has been on theNational Register of Historic Places since 1986.[3]

Due to the relatively close proximity to Proviso Yard, Metra trains occasionally must use the middle track to avoid the frequent freight traffic. Because the middle track has no platform, the train's cab car receives and discharges passengers at the Ardmore Avenue railroad crossing when this does occur.
