Taman Bunga Merdeka, a park in Melaka, Malaysia, also known as Independent Flower Garden, was originally known as the Coronation Park. It has also been known as the Melaka Transportation Museum.[1] Located along Jalan Kota and facing the People's Museum and other museums, it is one of few parks in the city center. It was built by the British in 1953 and named to memorialize the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II,when the park still fronted on the sea (landfill has removed its seafront since then). The park is part of a UNESCO World Heritage-recognized historic district, the Historic Cities of the Straits of Malacca listing.

The park includes the "Transportation area" of the People's Museum, which was established in collaboration with Malayan Railway, the Royal Malaysian Air Force and the West Malaysia Department of Civil Aviation. It contains a number of historic transportation artifacts:[1]
- a propeller-driven Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer CC Mk 1 aircraft, the "Lang Rajawali", which was the first aircraft acquired by the Royal Malayan Airforce after it was founded in 1962,
- a diesel locomotive named Sungai Lukut 21111, which was built in Japan in 1965, and an accompanying vintage railway carriage,
- a vintage yellow fire engine,
- replica bullock cart.[1]
The term "Melaka Transportation Museum" was also used for a museum that was opened in the outlying Ayer Keroh area of Melaka, in 2010, which was eventually closed; the outdoor transportation museum of the downtown park survives.
