What people say
Nice spot to fish, jog or walk, and sit and enjoy the view The car parking charges 24 hours though. Beautiful spot to enjoy the view of the ships, and yachts passing through this place, the harbour bridge, and the beautiful building of the crown casino hotel.
A small park situated next to Darling Island Wharf and a spa, and a five minute walk from The Star Light Rail stop. Once other viewpoints are occupied, this is a safe bet for offering coup-de-soufflés for the New Year fireworks: though it would be neck-to-neck; and it will eventually close its gates once full.
This is a spectacular place to come at night that's when the park comes to life with great views of Sydney's crown casino and surrounding buildings including a distant view of the Harbour Bridge it's great for photography, it really is a beautiful place and one for the bucket list!
Ballaarat Park is located at the point of Darling Island Wharf with an unbeatable view of the city. The waterfront park is an iconic destination to get the perfect shot of the Sydney city skyline,sitting and watching the 🚢 🚣♂️ 🛥 🛶 ⛵️ the different boats going passed! Great views of North Sydney and Barangaroo Reserve and partial view of Sydney Harbour Bridge behind Barangaroo Reserve, looks like a great place to relax and watch the traffic on that part of the harbour
Best thing about this place is the views, with the Crown Towers at Barangaroo the showstopper. I was at Star Casino previously so it wasn’t far for me to get here (maybe 5 mins), but I don’t think it’s worth coming here specifically for this. Wouldn’t even call this a park to be honest, there are very few park Benches, bins, water or other facilities you would associate at a park.
