The two maps compare the layout of Grange Park in 1920 with its current design, showing notable developments over time.
Overall, the park has shifted from a decorative, traditional layout to a modern, multifunctional space that caters to leisure, entertainment, and family activities.
In 1920, the park had a formal and symmetrical arrangement. Three rose gardens were located in the northwest, southwest, and northeast corners, with a large fountain in the centre surrounded by seating. On the western side, there was a stage for musicians, while the eastern side housed a glasshouse next to a pond for water plants. Entrances were positioned on Arnold Avenue in the north and Eldon Street in the south, with additional benches along the park edges.
At present, while the entrances remain in the same places, the park has been transformed into a more recreational space. The central fountain has been replaced by a water feature, and the stage for musicians has been substituted by an amphitheatre for concerts. The glasshouse has been removed and replaced with a cafe, while the pond has given way to a children’s play area. In conyrast, large rose garden removed to the center of the park and new undergraund car park enterences has been added in the southeast corner.
