There is a proposal to include an internal walking path and white picket fence in the centre of the park.

The fence will define the cricket playing area and the walking path will wrap around the fence and paths will link to park entry points. This is designed to enhance accessibility to the park from each of the streets.

The fence will be removable when large events are being held and will have several access points to allow access to the centre of the park. These access points will be open to the community so access to the centre of the park is maintained at all times.

Until the construction of stone walls in the late 1930s (which later became rendered in concrete in the 1950s) the park met the street. The proposal in the master plan is to reconnect the park with the street in the way it was originally designed.

This will include the removal of the current wall and the row of date palms to allow for the surface of the park to be graded to a gentle slope to meet the street level.

The grading of the park edges and removal of the retaining walls reduces the impression of a barrier between the streets and the park.

This will require the removal of 13 car spaces.

The exercise equipment in this area would be relocated to the new playground precinct near the toilet block.

It is proposed to create a new entry to the park on the Isabella/Bent Street corner. This would include the removal of the current steps, mosaics and arbour to create an accessible entry to the park from the main street area. It will include seating and signage.

A stage is proposed to provide a space for events in the park.

The exact style of the stage would be determined when funding was secured and will go through a period of community consultation at that time.

The design will allow the back of the stage to act as a main entry feature, and could include a mural, signage, plantings etc. The playground currently on the site is proposed to be upgraded and moved to the corner of the park near the toilets to allow easier and safer access for families.

This would require the removal of the waterfall and flagpole. The Dr Kelly memorial would be relocated into a garden area.

In the draft master plan there is a significant change proposed for the Isabella/Wynter Street corner of the park. This is the major approach to the town from Taree and the proposal is to create an entry/welcome to town at this point. It could be the back of the stage area that is proposed or a separate structure.

This will also involve the removal of the arbour and date palm at the current Isabella Street/Wynter Street corner.

The Log was placed in 1970 as both a marker of the contribution of the timber industry to the development of Wingham and as a monument to mark the Captain Cook Bicentenary. The original log was replaced in 1988. It is a 400-year-old tallow wood. The draft plan considers two options either retaining the log in its current site until end of life or relocation of the log to the Wingham Brush.

The Vampire Jet was installed in the park in the 1970s by the Manning River Branch of the Air Force Association to commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force. The logbook, manual and engine are in the collection at the Manning Valley Historical Museum.

While the jet is memorable, the statement of heritage impact does note that the appropriateness of it in the park is a question, particularly as there is no particular relationship between the jet and Wingham.

The jet has been refurbished a number of times since being installed in the park.

The draft plan considers two options either retaining the jet or relocating it to a museum.
