History
Misaki-kōen Station opened on 23 July 1938 as Minami-Tannowa Station on the Nankai Railway, primarily to serve the Osaka Golf Club whose 18-hole course was inaugurated two days later. The station was relocated on 31 May 1944 to coincide with the opening of the Tanagawa Line, which made the nearby Fuke Station redundant. After the wartime merger and post-war separation the station was renamed Misaki-kōen Station on 1 January 1957, three months before the Nankai-operated Misaki Park amusement park opened on 1 April. The station was promoted to a full limited-express stop on 4 September 1994, and station numbering NK41 was assigned on 1 April 2012. Misaki Park itself was closed by Nankai on 31 March 2020.

Notes
The station has outlived the amusement park it was named after: Nankai closed Misaki Park in March 2020 and transferred the grounds to Misaki Town, which reopened them as a public park in 2021.
