There are various benches cut into the sloping ground marking areas of former structures (tennis court and [[shed]]), playground and practice cricket pitch/nets. In 2003 a small shelter pavilion with a barbecue was constructed and replacement play equipment has recently been installed nearby in the south-west sector of the Park. |

The planting at Wilberforce Park is distinctive. Lines of pines (most likely Stone Pines, [[Pinus pinea]]) and bunya pines ([[Araucaria bidwillii]]), were planted to form two avenues in the park. A comparison of the 1947 aerial photograph indicate that some plantings on the eastern avenue have since been removed. The park contains mature indigenous eucalypts. One specimen opposite the gate of St John's Church on Macquarie Road marked the junction of the lines of two paths from the southern corners of the park. |

Despite the loss of numerous early plantings there remains a substantial and impressive collection of conifers and old Red Gums ([[Eucalyptus]] tereticornis). Some of these require attention from an arborist to assess their viability and safety. There is root damage near the surface to some trees due to inappropriate mowing regimes. |
