Band 6+: The plans below show a public park when it first opened in 1920 and the same park today. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The two maps depict a public park named “Grange Park” in two different time periods of 1920 and currently.

The overall changes are very noticeable. Although the two entrances remained the same, some new features are added and some of the facilities that existed before are now removed or resituated.

First, there are two entrances in two different zones, which have not gone through any changes, one in the north at Arnold Avenue and the other in the south at Eldon Avenue. In 1920 there were three rose gardens and four seating areas scattered around in four different locations. One of the rose gardens remained in the same place at the top left corner, the other two are now combined and placed in the middle of the park, where a fountain used to be, with all the seats surrounding it. In the past there was a pond for water plants at the top right corner but now this is an area for children to play. And right next to it a café has been added. To the right of the south entrance used to be a Glasshouse but it is now replaced by a water feature. Next to this is the entrance for the underground parking that is freshly constructed. On the left there was a stage for musicians whereas now a larger amphitheater is designed for concerts.
