Modern Kaohsiung - R9 Central Park Station Introduction
Central Park Station is a station on the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, located at the intersection of Wufu and Zhongshan Roads. Due to its location in a bustling area of Kaohsiung City, the MRT Bureau specifically adopted the design concept of "Modern Kaohsiung." The station was designed by British architect Richard Rogers, featuring a large white canopy and sleek yellow columns, creating a design imagery known as "Soaring." This white canopy not only enhances the fashionable atmosphere and structural beauty of Central Park Station but also incorporates a special rainwater collection design that directs rainwater into an indoor stepped waterfall. Sunlight, flowing water, and the greenery of the surrounding walls create a refreshing and natural environment reminiscent of a forest, echoing the connection to Central Park. At night, the illuminated station inside and out, along with the double rows of elevators and the waterfall, transforms into a magnificent sight. The rain shelter appears translucent, as if it could flutter with the wind, symbolizing the city's vigor, ascent, and growth.
