**History of Collingwood Park ** A former agricultural area, Collingwood Park came into existence in 1982 after a real estate developer proposed the name. Compared to the nearby Redbank, dominated by collieries and industries, Collingwood Park was a leafy and green area. Due to the planned residential development, it emerged as Ipswich’s dress circle in the 1980s. Following the housing development, many prefer the suburb to live away from crowded Ipswich and mining-dominated Redbank. Soon several schools and commercial areas came up, making Collingwood Park a sought-after suburb.
