Olympia Fields serves as a stop on the Metra Electric Line operated by Metra, located within Olympia Fields, Illinois. Positioned along 203rd Street, just two blocks east of Kedzie Avenue and next to the Olympia Fields Country Club, this station is situated from the northern endpoint at Millennium Station. Within Metra's fare zones, Olympia Fields falls under zone 3. In 2018, it was ranked as the 77th most frequented station out of 236 non-downtown locations, with an average weekday boarding figure of 679 passengers.

The facility consists of an elevated solid-fill structure featuring a single island platform that accommodates two tracks of the Metra Electric Line. Additionally, the right-of-way supports three Amtrak services—City of New Orleans, Illini, and Saluki—which pass through without stopping. The elevated rail design includes a pedestrian underpass providing access to the Olympia Fields Country Club. The station marks the end of 203rd Street. Although there is no staffed ticket office, travelers can obtain tickets from a vending machine located inside the waiting area.

Plans are underway for a comprehensive renovation of Olympia Fields station aimed at upgrading its infrastructure and achieving compliance with ADA standards for accessibility.
