St. Albans Park is a residential eastern suburb of Geelong, Victoria. It is bounded by Boundary Road (West) Coppards Road (East) Townsend Road (North) and the Barwon River (South). The suburbs that surround it are Whittington, Breakwater, Moolap and Marshall.

A new estate has recently been built in between Wilsons and Coppards Road. There is an aged care facility, general store including post office, church and many parks and reserves. A new kindergarten has just been built in Homestead Drive to cater for the suburbs growing young family population.

St Albans Uniting Church in Wilsons Road was built in 1869 and dedicated in 1870. Its beginnings can be traced back to forerunner churches and church gatherings from the early 1840's. Forerunner churches and chapels were located in Lakes Road, (now Woods Road) in Boronggoop (early name for St. Albans Park area bounded by Barwon River and extending north east in a 10,000 acre allotment - initially held by Caroline Elizabeth Newcomb - to Point Henry), in Hampstead, (early name for St. Albans Park area bounded by Woods / Coppards / Townsend / Wellington Roads), Regent Street and Chapel Street - the last two both in Whittington.

St. Albans Park is fast becoming recognised as one of Geelong's finest suburbs with its wide open spaces, modern housing and family lifestyle while still maintaining a close proximity to Geelong's CBD and Newcomb's nearby shopping centre and schools.
