The diagrams illustrate the development of West Park Secondary School between 1950 and 2010, showing changes at three points from 1950, 1980, and 2010, respectively.
Overall, the school area underwent significant changes, with the replacement of residential and farmland areas by educational facilities. Over time, the site became more developed, with an expansion of school buildings and a reduction in green and open spaces.
In 1950, the school was located to the right of a group of houses, with farmland behind them and a playground on the far right. By 1980, the houses and farmland had been removed. A car park was built in place of the houses, and a science block replaced the farmland. The main school building and the playground remained unchanged, while a sports field was added behind the new buildings.
By 2010, further development took place. The car park was expanded southward, taking over part of the sports field. The science block remained in its previous location next to the school building. The playground was reduced in size, making space for the relocated sports field, which moved further to the south of the site.
