These maps demonstrate the changes that have occured in Grange Park from 1920 to today.
Overall, the park has experienced major changes in its layout and now provides more residential and entertainment facilities. Additionally, the central area of the park was originally occupied by a fountain, but this was later replaced with a rose garden that included seating.
In 1920, the park was largely designed for culture and recreation. The central area was occupied by a fountain, while a stage for musicians was located on the western side. Rose gardens were placed in different parts of the park, near Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street, and were surrounded by seating areas. Furthermore, a glasshouse occupied the southeastern corner, and a pond for water plants was situated in the northeast. There were two main entrances, one from each street.
Now, the layout shows a complete transformation. The former stage has been replaced by a large amphitheatre for concerts. The central fountain has been removed and substituted with a square rose garden with seating areas around it. On the eastern side, the glasshouse and pond have gone, making way for a children’s play area and a water feature. A new cafe has been added near the northern entrance, and an underground car park entrance has been constructed in the south-east, improving accessibility.
