MRT: Red Line R9 Central Park Station

R9 Central Park on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line is the main rail access for this area, reachable from Kaohsiung Main Station or Zuoying HSR. Check the operator’s station page and timetable for current connections and service times.

Exiting the station brings you to the park’s edge, not to a specific feature inside it. The park and the station are related but separate places, so agree on an exit number or street corner as a meeting point.

City buses

Several city bus routes serve the Zhongshan 1st Road and Wufu 3rd Road corridors, but route numbers, stops and frequencies change. We do not publish unverified route numbers; check the city transport bureau or the operator’s live information.

From Kaohsiung Main Station or Zuoying HSR, compare a direct MRT ride with a bus-plus-walk option, allowing for waiting time and weather.

Driving and parking

The park is free to visit, while nearby parking is generally paid; rates, spaces and charging facilities change. Free park access should not be read as free parking.

Spaces fill quickly on weekends and during events. The MRT is usually simpler, or park near a station and transfer. See the parking guide for how to verify current conditions.

Walking, cycling and on-site routes

Paths connect lawns, water features and plazas, and may be rerouted by rain, works or event controls. For bicycles, wheelchairs or strollers, follow the routes open on the day; this site has not completed a full accessibility survey.

During summer afternoon storms or typhoons, check Central Weather Administration warnings and city notices before entering the park.

Frequently asked questions

Which address should I put into navigation?
