It includes bus bays and a 290-space park-and-ride lot on the north side of West Ridge Road. Westbound G Line trains terminate on one of two tracks, from which they return to Union Station. These tracks extend past the end of the station to allow for terminating trains to lay over. Public art at the station includes "Anchored by Place", a steel-and-bronze sculpture by Michael Clapper.
When originally conceived of in the 1990s, the G Line's western terminus was located in downtown Golden. RTD owns the G Line's rail right-of-way to Golden from this station, however there are no plans to extend the line there. Despite its proximity and accessibility to Golden via C-58 for passengers using personal vehicles, there are no onward bus connections to Golden from this station.
Wheat Ridge/Ward is the only RTD rail station within the city of Wheat Ridge, and was prepared by the city for transit-oriented development. In 2016, voters in Wheat Ridge approved a $12 million sales tax to improve roadways and other infrastructure around the area to lure development. As of 2026, land north of the station, formerly warehouses and vacant lots, has been developed into apartment complexes and townhomes.
