Ballast Point Lookout

Ballast Point Park, located at the end of Ballast Point Road in Birchgrove, is a 2.6-hectare urban park offering panoramic views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. Once an industrial site, the park now features walking paths, cycling access, picnic areas, and public BBQ facilities. Notable landmarks include Tank 101, a steel structure symbolizing the site's industrial past, and the artwork "Delicate Balance," representing the use of sandstone as ballast for ships. The park's dual name, "Walama," meaning 'to return,' reflects its transformation from industrial use back to nature.
