Walnut Creek station opened on May 21, 1973 as part of an extension from MacArthur to Concord.

Due to Walnut Creek's high ridership and large catchment area, BART proposed in 2004 that the station be the center of a transit-oriented development scheme which includes 440 residential units, 8,700 sq ft (810 m²) of office space, 33,000 sq ft (3,100 m²) of retail space, and 1,373 parking spaces.
A parking lot on the west side of the station closed on February 3, 2018.
A 900-space parking garage was constructed in its place, which allowed other parking lots to be closed for the new development.
The new garage, which includes a three-lane bus plaza, opened on March 29, 2019.
