What a hidden gem. Great spot for a bath walk, picnic and incredible views of Sydney city and the harbour.
There are a few car parks not shown so do the drive around the loop as there is one close to a bbq area and toilets, right near the views.
This is a dog friendly walk so long as on leash.

I like this place.  The environment is good, quiet and close to the port.  You can see Sydney landmarks, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, and major buildings in the Sydney CBD area.  This is a great place to walk your dog, relax, and watch the sunrise and sunset.  The public facilities here are pretty good, including parking lots, public toilets (very clean), barbecue pits, and open-air picnic areas.  Here you can see many pheasants looking for food.

Balls Head Reserve is a great place to go with family, friends, your partner and even take the kids out to play. Family environment and very nice for calm walks and contemplation of nature. If you want to relax or have a picnic, this is definitely the right place for it. In addition, the view is simply beautiful to behold, if you want to take good pictures, enjoy the sunset and you will be able to make magazine pictures. Even more, the hike in the reserve is a sensational experience and for all ages, but remember to be prepared for it. I highly recommend the tour, it's worth every minute.
