It is the location of Birchgrove Oval, the headquarters of the Sydney Cricket Club from 1897 to 1947 and a historic rugby league football ground which served as the original home of the Balmain Tigers club.Regarded as the spiritual home of rugby league in Australia because it hosted the first professional matches in 1908, Birchgrove Oval hosted the official launch of the 2008 NRL season, which celebrated the sport's centenary in Australia. Australian Rules Football also has historical links to Birchgrove Park, with NSWFA matches played there from 1903 to 1926.During the 1908 New Zealand Māori rugby league tour of Australia a Sydney Metropolitan team hosted a match against the tourists at Birchgrove Park.

One of the prettiest and most peaceful harborside parks. Easily reached by 441 bus service from town hall.

Its a nice place but council really needs to look after it like toilets was out of order i had to drive to the nearest petrol station. And rats wow there was so much around.

If you're with your family on new year's eve then this is a great place to see the fireworks at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Public toilets in close proximity and a short walk to Darling Street if you want to grab a quick lunch.

A pleasant historical recreational space, on the headland between Birchgrove and Balmain. Beautiful beach right beside it, with jetty. Around equidistance between Balmain and Birchgrove wharves, but closer to Birchgrove wharf.
