A Grade II listed building, Green Park Station has become an active retail and events space.
Run for many years by Envolve Partnership, a local sustainability enterprise, The Ethical Property Company PLC took over management in November 2008, and now manage all activity on the site, beyond the car park and the Sainsbury's supermarket, which is run by J Sainsbury PLC. The former booking hall is now Green Park Brasserie. The old station concourses are used as a covered market and events space, with a farmers' market, and other regular Saturday traders operating in the market square every Saturday. Local events and performances are scheduled throughout the year as well, and have included performances for the Bath Fringe Festival. Green Park Station also includes office space in the converted vaults of the station's lower floor, now the base to several local charities and social businesses.

“You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Liberty, as it is conceived by current opinion, has nothing inherent about it; it is a sort of gift or trust bestowed on the individual by the state pending good behavior.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
