Tianhe Park Station, a three-line interchange hub for Lines 11, 13 and 21, is close to Tianhe Park and the Yuancun area, which is home to a high concentration of residential communities and office buildings. Guangzhou Metro has turned about 1,600 square meters of station space into seven professional pickleball courts and three tennis training courts.
