'''Ocean Park''' ({{zh|t=海洋公園|cy=Hóiyèung Gūngyún}}) is an [[MTR]] [[rapid transit]] [[List of MTR stations|station]] in Hong Kong on the eastern section of the {{lnl|MTR|sil}}, which serves [[Ocean Park Hong Kong]] and [[Wong Chuk Hang]]. The station opened on 28 December 2016<ref name="rthk20161205">{{cite web| title=MTR's South Island Line to open on December 28 |url=http://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1300460-20161205.htm |publisher=[[RTHK]] |date=5 December 2016 }}</ref> with the rest of the South Island line.

It takes around 10 minutes to travel from {{STN|Admiralty|x|MTR}} to Ocean Park station, which is 21 minutes faster than taking the [[Citybus (Hong Kong)|Citybus]] route 629 from Admiralty station to Hong Kong Ocean Park.

The station is built above ground, north of Ocean Park Road, above the Ocean Park Bus Depot. A footbridge links the station with the park entrance. The station has three entrances/exits.
==History==
The station was constructed under Contract 903, which included the construction of both Ocean Park and Wong Chuk Hang stations as well as the [[Aberdeen Channel Bridge]]. The contract was awarded to [[Leighton Asia]] in May 2011.<ref name="contractlist">{{cite web |title=Progress Update |url=http://www.mtr-southislandline.hk/en/construction/progress_update.html |website=South Island Line (East) |publisher=MTR Corporation |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130228000514/http://www.mtr-southislandline.hk/en/construction/progress_update.html |archivedate=28 February 2013}}</ref>

== Station Art ==
The station features different shades of blue glass, in wavy tile bands, as the main decoration. About {{Convert|2700|m2|ft2}} of the concourse will be coloured blue, the pillars adorned with depictions of [[Pinniped|seals]], penguins, jellyfish and dolphins and other marine life. 

On the ceiling is ''Flow'', a hanging art installation created by Benson Kwun; this installation resembles a [[Shoaling and schooling|school of fish]] swimming through the air.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=MTR – South Island Line > Station Information > Ocean Park Station |url=http://www.mtr-southislandline.hk/en/information/OCP.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161031130740/http://www.mtr-southislandline.hk/en/information/OCP.html |archive-date=31 October 2016 |access-date=1 November 2016 |website=mtr-southislandline.hk |df=dmy-all}}</ref>
