Lines edit
The station is served by the Nichinan Line and is located 9.0 km from the starting point of the line at Minami-Miyazaki.[3]
Layout edit
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. The station building is a simple open-concept structure that serves mainly as a weather shelter for passengers on the platform. A ticket window has been built but is not staffed. From the station entrance, a pedestrian bridge leads across the main road to the Miyazaki Sports Park, the facility which gives its name to the station.[2][3][4]
History edit
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 18 March 1984 as a temporary stop on the existing track of the Nichinan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu assumed control of Undōkōen and upgraded it to a full station.[5]
Passenger statistics edit
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 31 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
