Athlone Park is a small coastal suburb located between Durban and Amanzimtoti in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Considered as one of Amanzimtoti’s most sought-after suburbs, Athlone Park forms part of the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality as a Southern Suburb.

Athlone Park lies on the mouth of the eZimbokodweni River, approximately 19 kilometres (12 miles) south of Durban and 7 kilometres (4 miles) north of the Amanzimtoti CBD ^[3][4] and sits between the Indian Ocean to the east, Prospecton to the north, Lotus Park to the north-west, Umbogintwini to the west and Amanzimtoti to the south.^[5]

The N2 freeway, which runs to Durban and Port Shepstone, forms the western border of Athlone Park, separating it from Umbogintwini. Dickens Road connects Athlone Park to Umbogintwini and provides access to the N2. The R102, known as Kingsway (officially Andrew Zondo Road), runs along the coastline from Prospecton in the north to Amanzimtoti in the south.
