In 1920 a parcel of 60 acres (24 ha) of land in Albert Park was bought by the aviator Harry Butler, who set it up the Hendon Aerodrome. Part of this site was subdivided in 1921 for residential development, and together with the aerodrome this land became the new suburb of Hendon. The aerodrome was compulsorily acquired by the Commonwealth in 1922 and operated until 1927, when aviation operations were transferred to Parafield.

The Aerodrome Post Office opened on 19 August 1925. It was renamed Aero Park in 1945 and Albert Park in 1967, before closing in 1987.

The suburb lies on the western side of the Port Road-West Lakes Boulevard intersection.

The 2006 census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics counted 1,638 persons in Albert Park on census night. Of these, 48% were male and 52% were female.

The majority of residents (72.8%) are of Australian birth, with other common census responses being Italy (4.0%) and England (2.8%).

The age distribution of Albert Park residents is skewed slightly higher than the greater Australian population. 71.5% of residents were over 25 years in 2006, compared to the Australian average of 66.5%; and 28.5% were younger than 25 years, compared to the Australian average of 33.5%.
