Tianhe Park station, is a station of Line 21 of the Guangzhou Metro. It started operations on 20 December 2019.[1] With the opening of Line 11 in December 2024, line 21 was truncated to here from since October 2, 2024, as to allow renovation works in preparation for line 11 trains to serve that station instead. It will also be an interchange station with Line 13 in 2025.[2]

Prior to the opening of Line 11, the dismantling work of the section from this station to of Line 21 began October 2, 2024. The southern terminus of Line 21 was adjusted north to this station, and platforms 3 and 4 on the inner platforms were put in use, whilst platforms 1 and 2 on the outer platforms were temporarily suspended. The 6B train type's shielding doors and glass panel false walls of the outer platform will be removed, and then the appropriate shielding doors of the 8A train type will be installed. At the same time, it was necessary to dismantle the outer platform and the third track between the station and the Yuancun station area and replace the signal system to Line 11 standards.[3]

Station layout

When fully complete in 2024, the station's total construction area of the station will be 78558 square meters, which is equivalent to 2.3 Gongyuanqian stations and 3.3 Yangji stations. It will also be the largest station on the whole of Guangzhou Metro.[4]

The station has 2 underground island platforms. Platform 3 is for trains heading to, whilst platform 4 is for terminating trains. Platforms 1 and 2 are currently not in use as they are under renovation, however, they will be put into service when the renovation works are completed and Line 11 opens.
