Hayward Park station is one of three Caltrain stations in San Mateo, California. It is located just to the north of the State Route 92 overcrossing, about {{cvt|1200|ft}} south of the site of the original Southern Pacific station in Hayward Park (known as Leslie Station prior to 1936). It was relocated in 1999 because of a lack of parking at the original site, and because the previous station had been sited along a curve in the tracks near 16th Avenue.{{cite web |url=http://www.askmar.com/Railroad/Book-SF-Peninsula-Railroad.pdf |title=The San Francisco Peninsula Railroad Passenger Service — Past, Present, and Future |author=Mark Duncan |date=4 October 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181018143635/http://www.askmar.com/Railroad/Book-SF-Peninsula-Railroad.pdf |access-date=2 May 2013|archive-date=2018-10-18 }} The present station has two side platforms, with at-grade signalized and gate-protected pedestrian/bicycle crossings of the tracks at both its north and south ends.

This station is planned to be modified to accommodate through-running California High-Speed Rail service.{{cite web |title=San Francisco to San Jose Project Section Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement Volume 1 Chapter 2 |date=July 2020 |url=https://hsr.ca.gov/docs/programs/san_francisco_san_jose/Draft_EIRS_FJ_V1-08_CH_2_Alternatives.pdf |publisher=CHSRA |access-date=20 July 2020}}
