Sōgō Undō Kōen Station opened on 18 June 1985 on the Kobe Municipal Subway Seishin-Yamate Line in Suma-ku, Kobe, taking its name from the surrounding Kobe Sports Park. A rapid service was introduced on 9 July 1993, with the station treated as a rapid stop only when major events were held nearby. The station was damaged in the Great Hanshin earthquake on 17 January 1995 but returned to single-track service the next day on a temporary basis, with double-track operations between Myōdani and Gakuentoshi resumed on 25 January and the suspended rapid abandoned on 21 July. A 1999 schedule revision increased evening service frequency. The unusual three-platform two-track surface layout, set in a cutting, was once the highest-elevation subway station in Japan at roughly 103 metres.

At about 103 metres above sea level, the station held the unusual distinction of being Japan's highest-elevation subway station until the Sendai Subway Tōzai Line's Yagiyama Zoological Park Station opened at 136 metres in December 2015.
