Carole Park is a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 19 kilometres (12 mi) 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. The Industrial side comes under Ipswich, while the residential side comes under Brisbane.
The peculiar division was the result of Moreton Shire being absorbed into Brisbane, Ipswich and Esk during the 1990s.
There are moves afoot to absorb the residential part of Carole Park into Ellen Grove. This will result in the residential part of Carole Park having a Brisbane post code
It is a quiet suburb with a primary school and a small shopping centre. There is easy access to trains and the motorway. In the near future, there will be a railway station.
As of May 2010 the residential part of Carole Park changed to Ellen Grove and given 4078 as their new Brisbane post code.
