First of all, if it is to serve the park itself, that would mean having all trains stop there (there are no stop request buttons on the train to make it optional). For a stop that would be lucky to have maybe 5 people per day use it, that seems a bit ridiculous.
Secondly, there are no sports fields (only equestrian fields).
Thirdly, the equestrian park is over a kilometre from the campground, so there really wouldn't be a good stop to serve both well. I don't even think many people would use transit to go camping. If they have a car, then they would most likely drive to where they are going (or drive to a park and ride). If they have bikes (or a golf cart), they could just ride them to Moodie station easily enough. If there really was demand, the campground could offer a shuttle to the LRT station.
