Located at the intersection of NW Division Street and NW Eastman Parkway, the station includes a park-and-ride lot.
It is near the Gresham Station retail development. It is named for the adjacent Gresham city hall, which opened in October 1979 in a new building shared with school district offices.[1]
The station was located in TriMet fare zone 4 from its opening in 1986[2] until September 1988,[3] and in zone 3 from then until September 2012, at which time TriMet discontinued all use of zones in its fare structure.[4]
In 2017, work on an extensive renovation of the then-31-year-old station began on January 23, and the station was scheduled to close completely for six weeks, beginning on February 26, 2017.[5] The station reopened on April 2, 2017.[6]
On June 16, 2023, TriMet closed Gresham City Hall station's park and ride to make way for the construction of East County Library.[7]
