It is operated by ViaMobilidade and belongs to Line 5-Lilac, which connected with the metropolitan network of São Paulo in September 2018 with the opening of stations Chácara Klabin, which connects to Line 2-Green, and Santa Cruz, which connects to Line 1-Blue.^[4] It was the last station to be delivered in the expansion plan of the line.^[2] The station will also, in the future, have a connection with Line 17 (São Paulo Metro) when opened.

According to the Metro original plans, the station should be named "Água Espraiada-Campo Belo", but, because of the change of name of Brooklin station of Line 5-Lilac, the station lost the sufix "Campo Belo". Later, it switched to Campo Belo, as both Brooklin and Campo Belo are located in the same borough.

On 26 March 2019, it was informed that the station opening could happen on 10 April.^[5]

On 5 April, it was confirmed the opening of the station to 8 April, two days before what was announced before.^[6] During the first 5 days, it worked in a reduced time, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.,^[7] and on 13 April it began working in full time.^[8]
