Shakujii-kōen Station opened on 15 April 1915 as Shakujii Station, on what is today the Seibu Ikebukuro Line in Nerima Ward, Tokyo. It was renamed Shakujii-kōen on 1 March 1933 after the adjacent Tokyo Metropolitan Shakujii Park. The 14 July 1962 reconfiguration enlarged the layout from one island platform to two islands and three tracks with a connecting footbridge, and platforms were extended for ten-car trains on 1 November 1963. Freight operations ended on 31 March 1978 and a north exit opened later that year. A continuous grade-separation project ran from November 2008 through to 23 June 2012, raising the platforms to the present two-island four-track elevated layout; the Emio Shakujii-kōen retail complex followed on 1 March 2017.

The grade-separation works removed the level crossings beside the station that had been notorious as "crossings that never open" — the crossing with Fuji-kaidō among them — the last of them once the elevated line was completed in 2015, and the pillars carrying the new platform roofs were given a design evoking the trees of Shakujii Park.
