Carole Park is a suburb of both Ipswich and Brisbane, Australia. It is 19 km south-west of the CBD (Central Business District) of Brisbane.

Carole Park is half residential, half industrial, with the Logan Motorway separating the two areas.

In approximately 1972 Carole Park was designated to hold a lot of housing commission houses. The introduction of the housing commission houses into Carole Park brought with it a lot of crime and drug related problems, leading to a bad reputation which surrounds the suburb still today.Fact|date=August 2008
