Douglas station is an elevated light rail station on the K Line of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system. It is located over Douglas Street, after which it is named, near Park Place and one block north of Rosecrans Avenue in El Segundo, California. It opened with the commencement of Green Line service on August 12, 1995.[4] The station has been served by the K Line since a restructuring in November 2024.
The station was initially named Douglas/Rosecrans Ave but was later simplified to Douglas in 2003.[5][6] This station was renovated in 2006 as part of street improvements in the area.[citation needed]
The train platform, currently suitable for two-car trains, is planned to be lengthened by 2028 to accommodate longer three-car trains.[7][8]
