2006年，McGregor Coxall和其咨询团队赢得了为该公园进行设计发展、文案、场地监督等工作的机会。设计理念即在保留场地历史的同时也为未来营造一座公园。新建公园有以下特点：
·场地内电力能源是由排成同排结构的8台垂直轴向的风力涡轮机提供，替代了原有场地中巨大的燃料储藏罐。
·使用混凝土、砖石等其他建筑碎料填充成型的镂空墙体，形成逐级上升的观景平台，以获得广阔的全景视角。
·收集了34 000株乡土植物的种子进行栽种，该地区最终将会完全由绿色覆盖。
·对原加德士公司场地中的楼梯进行了简洁的改变，为场地中的不同平面提供了极富戏
剧性的连接。
·种植着湿地植物的水塘对进入港口前的水流进行了清洁，并为本地鸟类和青蛙提供了栖息地。
狎角公园是一座令人极为鼓舞的公园，它传递出对悉尼未来的乐观精神。在这片土地上，原本覆盖着澳大利亚污染最为严重的重工业残留下的砂石，现今却增添了对悉尼而言意义深远的新诠注。

The iconic former Caltex site on Ballast Point, Sydney Harbour has been officially opened as a public park to overwhelming positive feedback. This much anticipated 2.5ha headland park is the culmination of years of community action, consultation, site remediation, design, implementation and construction. Ballast Point Park's true triumph, however, is that community action wrestled the site from developers to preserve it as a valuable piece of Sydney Harbour for the people of Sydney.
The site originally existed as a sandstone heath / woodland and formed part of the lands of the Darug-speaking people of the Eora tribe. The headland's name is derived from the early colony's use of the site as a sandstone quarry to supply ballast for returning ships. Ballast Point was part of a 550 acre land grant to William Balmain. In 1864, Thomas Perkins built a stately maritime villa on the site called 'Menevia' but this fell into decline in the late 19th Century. The Texan Oil Company purchased the site in 1928 and demolished the villa to make way for an oil storage facility, dominating the site with massive tanks and sheds. An economic shift in focus away from the city saw Caltex de-camp the site in the latter part of the 20th Century. The site was slated for residential development but staunch community action supported by political will saw the park returned to public ownership in 2002 when the State Government acquired the site and announced that it would become a public headland park.
Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) were entrusted with the management of
transforming
PRACTICE
the polluted site to a public park. In 2004 SHFA commissioned landscape architects Context, Anton James Design and CAB Consulting to develop a masterplan in consultation with local community groups. In 2006, McGregor Coxall and their consultant team were awarded the design contract for design development, documentation and site supervision for the park. The design philosophy was to acknowledge the site’s past history while providing a park for the future. The new park features:
•on-site energy production generated by 8 vertical axis wind turbines on a contemporary structure replacing one of the old site's larger fuel storage tanks.
•concrete, brick and crushed building material provide the fill to sculpted gabion walls which retain a sequence of stepped viewing terraces with sweeping panorama views.
•34,000 plants grown from seeds collected locally will eventually clothe this headland in green.
•elegant reinterpretations of the old Caltex site staircases provide dramatic access between the various site levels.
•water ponds with wetland plants clean all the site water prior to entering the harbour and provide a habitat for
local birds and frogs.
Ballast Point Park is an inspirational park conveying an optimism for the future of Sydney. For here, in an area that was once blanketed with the grit of one of Australia's heaviest industrialised areas, now exists a
significant new addition to the Sydney experience.
