MRT R9 Central Park Station

R9 is the station most visitors use for the park, but the station, its street address and the park are three separate things. This page explains how to verify station information and how to think about the walk after you exit.

Station basics

R9 is a station on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line named Central Park. For timetables, first and last trains and same-day service status, use the operator’s official station page; we do not copy schedules that may be outdated.

An older city tourism page associated No. 11, Zhongshan 1st Road with Exit 1. That describes the station, not the park boundary or a single exclusive entrance.

Station architecture versus the park

City tourism material describes the station as designed by Richard Rogers’s team, with a white canopy and yellow supports evoking flight. That is station architecture, not the park’s construction date or landscape.

The park is an urban green space and the station is transport infrastructure. Their hours, managing bodies and accessibility conditions are independent and should not be applied to each other.

Where to check station facilities

Use the operator’s station page and station plan for lifts, accessible toilets and exit layouts. With a wheelchair, stroller or luggage, confirm lift availability on the day rather than assuming a step-free route.

Official station page: line, levels, timetable and connections
Station plan: exit numbers, lifts and accessible facilities
Park access and management: see the city park introduction separately

After you exit

The lawns and nearby shopping streets are within walking distance, but the route can be affected by works, event closures and pavement conditions. Pick a specific street corner or exit as a meeting point, then follow on-site signs.

Frequently asked questions

Is R9 Central Park Station the same as the park?

No. R9 is the MRT station serving the area; the park is an urban green space. Their addresses, managing bodies and access conditions differ even though they are close.

What time does the station open?

We do not publish schedules that may be outdated. Check the official R9 station page for first and last trains, and do not treat train times as park opening hours.

Is the station building part of the park?

The Richard Rogers design described by the city belongs to the station. For the park’s own landscape and history, use the park introduction and history guides.

Sources and verification limits

Opening hours, prices, services, events and facility status change. Check official announcements, primary sources and on-site signs before travelling.
