Tanti Park opened on 18 June 1936 as Mornington Racecourse Platform,[1]. It opened for general traffic on 12 April 1969,[1] and was renamed Tanti Park on 19 December of that year.[1] The current platform was provided in late 1977.[2] Flashing light signals were also provided at the Bungower Road level crossing, located at the up end of the platform, in that year.[1]
Since mid-2009, the station has been unmanned. It is now a pickup and drop-off point for passengers travelling on the tourist railway. The ticket office is still present, but is not used. A former Rail Motor Stopping Place platform is located across the road from Tanti Park.
