Lohas Park (or Tseung Kwan O South)[1] is a proposed station on the Hong Kong MTR Tseung Kwan O Line. The station is to serve a residential project called Lohas Park (formerly called Dream City) located at Area 86; the first tenders for the construction of Phase 1 of the project were completed in January 2005.

When the station is completed in 2009, the Tseung Kwan O line will split into 2 branches at Tseung Kwan O, with the original northern branch running towards Po Lam, and the southern branch running towards Lohas Park.

According to the diagrams shown on the MTR Corporate Site, this station will be built adjacent to the Tseung Kwan O Line Depot. Commuters will have to either take a lift or escalator up to the concourse one storey above ground, enter the paid area of the station, and ride an escalator down to the platforms located on ground level next to the tracks of the depot. There are going to be 2 platforms sharing the same island platform on ground level. Like the other Tseung Kwan O line stations, platform screen doors are likely to be installed.
