Shōnai Ryokuchi Kōen Station opened on 6 September 1984 as the new western terminus of the Nagoya Municipal Subway Tsurumai Line when the line was extended from Jōshin. It served as a start/end point for approximately ten years. On 12 August 1993 the Tsurumai Line was further extended to Kami-Otai and through-running with Meitetsu's Inuyama Line began; at that point Shōnai Ryokuchi Kōen became a through station, but Kami-Otai's turnback facilities were not yet complete, so non-through trains continued to use this station as the inner terminus. That arrangement ended on 30 March 1994 with the completion of turnback facilities at Kami-Otai. The planning-stage name for the station was simply 'Shōnai Park'. Three elevators (between each platform and the concourse, and from the concourse to the surface) entered service on 5 December 2006. Administrative oversight of the station moved from the Tsurumai Line Station Affairs District Kami-Maezu Management Station to the Tsurumai Line Operations District on 1 April 2019, and platform screen doors entered service on 14 October 2024.

Shōnai Ryokuchi Kōen has two opposed side platforms on the underground Tsurumai Line, and trains arriving from the Akaike direction can reverse here. Since Kami-Otai opened, no services are normally scheduled to start or terminate at Shōnai Ryokuchi Kōen, but when the connecting Meitetsu Inuyama Line is disrupted trains do turn back here. Because the platforms are sharply curved, sightlines are poor end-to-end, so the emergency horn is sounded loudly as trains enter the station; before the through-extension to Kami-Otai, only one side was used during off-peak periods such as the middle of the day, when service was infrequent. The line between the station and the next stop towards central Nagoya, Shōnai-dōri, runs beneath the Shōnai River, and watertight doors are installed on the river side of each station so the section can be sealed off in the event of flooding. The wide riverbed has left room for many driving schools in the immediate vicinity, including CBC Driving School and Chūkyō Driving School.
