Elephant Park is a lakeside park on the Skarloey Railway. According to former Railway Consultant Sam Wilkinson's map of Sodor, the park is located east of Ulfstead, on the line to Boulder Quarry and Ulfstead Castle.
History
During the construction of Elephant Park station, Duncan was tasked with bringing the elephant statue here. Duncan did not wait for a brake van to be coupled up and, as a result, ended up crashing into the buffers at the station and launching the statue into the lake. Though this was an accident, the statue has remained as a feature in the lake ever since.[1]

- As a result, Elephant Park station is also based on Welshpool Raven Square station on the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway.
- The elephant statue prop was formerly owned by Twitter user IsaacM6991. It is now owned by Twitter user Thomas Wooden Railway Models.
