Suizenji-Kōen opened on 1 August 1924 as the first-generation Suizenji Stop, located in front of the entrance to Suizenji Jōju-en garden, when the Suizenji Line opened between Suidō-chō and Suizenji. On 6 May 1945 the stop was relocated as the Kengun Line opened, and at an unrecorded date it was renamed Suizenji-Kōen. The stop is stop 18 and is served by both A- and B-system trams; it is the junction between the Suizenji Line and the Kengun Line.

The "Suizenji" in the stop name refers both to a temple of the same name that stood here until the late Heian era, and to the Edo-period Suizenji Jōju-en — a large daimyō garden built on the temple site, still about 200 m east of the stop.
