The Urheilupuisto metro station opened on Saturday 18 November 2017, when metro traffic on the Ruoholahti–Matinkylä section started up. The Urheilupuisto metro station construction contract was implemented by NCC Rakennus Oy.
The themes of the station are energy, motion, youth, strength, growth and colour. Unlike other West Metro stations, Urheilupuisto metro station is not constructed in bedrock. The station building is designed to allow daylight to reach the escalators all the way to the platform level. The metro station was designed by Arkkitehtitoimisto HKP Oy.
