St. Rose of Lima Park is a divided SacRT light rail stop located in Downtown Sacramento, California, named in honor of Rose of Lima. The northbound platform is situated at 9th & K Streets, whereas the former southbound platform was positioned at 7th & K Streets. In 2007, RT extended its route to Sacramento Valley Station by introducing the 8th & K station between these two platforms.
The platform at 9th & K exclusively accommodates the Blue Line, offering convenient access to the Golden 1 Center, nearby office buildings, and Downtown Commons, a prominent destination for shopping and entertainment anchored by the arena.
Closure of 7th & K
Originally opened in 1987, the southbound platform at 7th & K was located on K Street between 7th and 8th Streets. In 2010, it was moved to 7th Street just south of K Street. At first, only the Blue Line served this platform; however, it eventually handled all three RT lines. Although it was close to the new Golden 1 Center, this station stood one block north of the 7th & Capitol platform. RT officials considered its proximity to other stations too close and criticized its inclined design.
After receiving considerable input and upgrading the 7th & Capitol station to accommodate increased passenger flow during Sacramento Kings home games, the 7th & K platform was permanently closed on September 30, 2016.
