Interesting art and harbour-side strolls are what this place is all about. It used to be a Caltex oil terminal, and they could have stripped away all the industry and softened it up with plants, but they haven’t. They’ve worked with recycled materials to create something appealing: gabion walls, made from bales of rocks, shape the space. It works really well. Sunrise and sunset are the best times to take in the incredible harbour views. At those times the golden light splashes over the exposed sandstone and picks up the golden colour in the rocks. It’s magical.

From Mort Bay Studio, cross McKell St to enter Mort Bay Park going towards Balmain Ferry Terminal, then turn left and walk along the waterfront to Ballast Point Park. Once in Ballast Point Park, there are maze of paths to explore, climbing up the various levels of the park, with spectacular views of the Harbour Bridge and the City – great at sunset as the western side of the city gets lit up by the setting sun. • This walk can be extended by going along Wharf Road to Birchgrove Park. Wharf Road is great for some super expensive real estate viewing, and Birchgrove Park has even more spectacular views over the harbour. • If you want go even further, take a right at the end of Birchgrove Oval and walk down Louisa Road to Birchgrove Ferry terminal. This is rumoured to be the most expensive street in Sydney! Several celebrities live here including Rebel Wilson, so keep your eyes peeled!

This relatively new hidden harbourside Park was apparently voted best harbourside Park in the world a few years back. It's definitely worth the trip and take a picnic there are gas BBQs and very few people
