Ampang Park LRT station is an light rapid transit (LRT) station in Kuala Lumpur that is served by RapidKL's LRT Kelana Jaya Line. The station is the last underground station on the Kelana Jaya Line before the line heads above ground again at Damai LRT station. It is located opposite the site of the former Ampang Park Shopping Centre along Jalan Ampang, near the Jalan Tun Razak intersection.

This station is close to the Citibank's Malaysian headquarters, as well as the US Embassy, the Singapore High Commission, the Canadian High Commission, and the British High Commission, which are all located in the area of Jalan Tun Razak, known as "Embassy Row".

It was meant to be an interchange station with the two rail lines. However, due to cost cutting measures, the stations will be classified as a connecting station. Though in the future, it will be integrated with the MRT Putrajaya Line.[1]

History[]

This station was opened on 1 June 1999, as Phase Two of the PUTRA LRT system, which ran from Masjid Jamek to Terminal PUTRA (Gombak).

Layout[]

The station consists of three levels, with the entrance on ground level while the ticketing area, concourse and platforms are underground. Similar to all Kelana Jaya Line underground stations, the Ampang Park station features an island platform sandwiched between two railway tracks for each direction.
