La Verne/Fairplex station is a future at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles Metro Rail system.[1] It is currently under construction as part of the Foothill Extension Project and is slated to open in early-January 2025.[2]

The station is located near the intersection of Arrow Highway and E Street along the Pasadena Subdivision right-of-way in La Verne, California. The University of La Verne is northwest of the station, and Fairplex is one block to the south.

The city of La Verne, in partnership with the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments, intends to construct a pedestrian overpass connecting the A line station with the Fairplex and its Metrolink station that's only used for the L.A. County Fair. The overpass will cross Arrow Highway and the San Bernardino Line railroad right-of-way.[3]
