Ballast Point Park

Ballast Point Park is a 2.6-hectare harbourside public park at the tip of Ballast Point in Birchgrove, Inner West Sydney, New South Wales. Opened in 2009 on the former Caltex oil terminal site, it reuses industrial remnants and recycled materials. The park offers panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, Cockatoo Island and the Harbour Bridge, with landscaped gardens, walking trails, public art and heritage interpretation reflecting its quarrying and industrial past.

Visitors can expect a landscaped harbourside park on a former industrial site with open lawns, native gardens, walking paths and recycled industrial structures including tanks, pipes and concrete walls. The park features interpretive signage, public artworks, picnic and barbecue areas, and elevated lookouts with panoramic views over Sydney Harbour, Cockatoo Island, Goat Island and the city skyline. The setting is tranquil and exposed, with harbour breezes and minimal shade in some areas.
