History
Nakamura Kōen Station opened on 1 April 1969 as the western terminus of the Nagoya Municipal Subway Higashiyama Line on the section between Nakamura Kōen and Nagoya, in Toyokuni-dōri 1-chōme, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya. A nearby cycle-park opened on 25 June 1976. The line was extended onward to Takabata on 21 September 1982, making the station an intermediate stop. The surrounding free bicycle parking became fee-paying on 1 March 2010. manaca acceptance began on 11 February 2011, and platform-edge gates entered service on 28 September 2015. The station is paired with a bus terminal that draws regular ridership from Tsushima, Ama and Ōji beyond the city. As the line's original western terminus, a small disused arcade survives just outside the ticket gates.

Notes
Although the platforms are labelled "Nakamura Kōen," automated ticket machines print the station name as "なかむら公園" in mixed hiragana-kanji, a quirk that has persisted since the station's opening.
