The station Dortmund Tierpark is located on the Düsseldorf-Derendorf–Dortmund Süd railway built by the Rhenish Railway Company (German: Rheinische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, RhE) and now operated by Deutsche Bahn. The railroad line is single-track at the level of the station, for which reason the station has only one platform. The nearby former Tierpark and today's Dortmund Zoo gives the station its name. Until its renaming in 1959/1960, the station was officially named "Brünninghausen".
The station is located on the street Am Bahnhof Tierpark, which translates to at the Tierpark station. In the immediate vicinity are the bus stops Brünninghausen and Mergelteichstr./Zoo, which offer transfers to the bus lines of Dortmunder Stadtwerke. The Rombergpark Botanical Garden is located east of the tracks and can be reached via an underpass.
