St. Rose of Lima Park is a split Sacramento RT light rail station, located near the park named in honor of Rose of Lima,[1] in Downtown Sacramento, California. From the RT light rail's inception in 1987, it consisted of only two platforms at the vicinity: the northbound one (towards Watt/I-80) at the intersection of 9th and K Streets, and the southbound one at 7th and K Streets. When RT expanded the light rail system in 2007 to serve Sacramento Valley station, it added the northbound-only 8th and K Streets station.[2] Officially, the platforms on 7th and 9th streets are marked as "St. Rose of Lima Park" while the platform in the middle on 8th Street is marked as "8th and K".[2]

The original southbound 7th & K station platform was built in 1987, and was located on K Street between 7th and 8th Streets. It was moved in 2010 to its current location on 7th Street south of K Street, just around the corner of the same block.[3]

Nearby are downtown office buildings and Downtown Commons (formerly Downtown Plaza), an entertainment and shopping complex that includes the Golden 1 Center, a basketball and multi-purpose arena; both are under construction.
