Katong Park station in detail
Katong Park opened on 23 June 2024 along Meyer Road, one of the more unusual builds on the whole line: because the site was squeezed between a two-lane road and high-rise condominiums, the platforms are stacked one above the other rather than side by side, and it was the first stacked station in Singapore built using tunnel-boring machines. The station takes its name from the park directly above it, laid out in the 1930s on the site of Fort Tanjong Katong, a British coastal battery built in 1879 and decommissioned in 1901 — a handful of stone remnants from the fort survive in the park today. Large skylights bring daylight into the upper concourse, a nice touch for an underground station serving a quiet, established residential pocket between the city and the East Coast.

Facilities at Katong Park
Look for the large skylights in the upper concourse as you pass through — a rare bit of natural daylight for an underground MRT station, and part of what makes Katong Park's stacked-platform design distinctive.
Other stations on this line
Katong Park — frequently asked questions
Katong Park is served only by the Thomson-East Coast Line, coded TE24, between Tanjong Rhu and Tanjong Katong. Trains run underground from about 05:30 until around midnight, roughly every few minutes.
A narrow site between a two-lane road and buildings forced the platforms one above the other, built using tunnel-boring machines rather than the usual side-by-side platform layout used everywhere else on the line.
Not directly; Marine Parade or Siglap, a few stops further east, are the more direct stations for reaching the beach park and its cycling paths that run along the coast.
