Collingwood Park is a suburb of Ipswich in the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. In the 2021 census, Collingwood Park had a population of 9,246 people.
The suburb was named and bounded on 28 August 1982.
Throughout the 1980s, Collingwood Park was marketed as, "The Dress Circle Suburb of Ipswich". The suburb's name implied a "leafy" residential area which differentiated it from nearby Redbank, the site of several collieries and industries: a map, c1940, showed the area as devoid of any development apart from a perimeter road.
Notable events which drew attention to the area included 13th Australian Scout Jamboree, 1982–83, the annual 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) Collingwood Park fun run and the 1983 radio 4BK house giveaway and concert held on the site of the current state school.
