[edit] Geography

Collingwood Park is bounded by Collingwood Road to the northwest and Middleton Bay to the southeast, lying between Emu Point and Seppings. Most of the suburb consists of natural bushland, with a couple of small residential pockets.^[2]

[edit] Facilities

Collingwood Park is home to the Albany Golf Course, an 18-hole links course first developed in 1898, with a new clubhouse that was built in 2000. One source claims that Australian golfer Craig Parry regards the course as his favourite in Australia.^[3]

Only a few scattered residential pockets exist in Collingwood Park. A sporting club on Troode Street and a coastal B&B are also located in the suburb.
