Oak Lawn Patriot serves as a stop on Metra's SouthWest Service line in Oak Lawn, Illinois, situated from Chicago Union Station, the northern endpoint of the route. It is classified within Metra's zone 3 fare structure. In 2018, this station was the 31st most frequented out of 236 non-downtown Metra stations, with an average of 1,186 boardings on weekdays.
Starting February 15, 2024, Oak Lawn Patriot is included in the schedule for all 30 weekday trains (15 traveling in each direction); however, Saturday operations remain suspended at this time.
The station received its current name in 2012 to commemorate a newly established 9/11 memorial located on its premises. This tribute includes two steel beams salvaged from the original World Trade Center towers, honoring those affected by the September 11 attacks. Although "Oak Lawn Patriot" is the official designation used in formal communications, some schedules continue to reference the station simply as Oak Lawn.
Train routes from this station run northward to Chicago Union Station and southward toward Orland Park and Manhattan.
