The two maps illustrate the significant transformations in the layout of a grange park between 1920 and its present-day design.
Overall, the grange park has seen extensive modernization and became more residential area, with new entertainment-focused facilities replacing older ones.
In 1920, the grange park had a simple layout with lots of green spaces such as Rose gardens and a pond for water plants. Rose gardens were located in three different parts of the park: northern, eastern, and western sides. Additionally, seats were placed in every corner, especially near the Rose gardens and main entrances, one to the Arnold avenue and second to the Eldon street. In the western part, there was a stage for musicians and it has taken place in front of the fountain that was located in the midst of the layout. The last striking feature is that there was a glasshouse, which stood at the southeastern tip of the area.
Today, the grange park has undergone noticeable development. Two separate Rose gardens, top right and bottom left, have been consolidated into a single central garden but one at the top left remains unchanged. The old fountain has been knocked down to make way for this new garden. The stage for musicians has been transformed into a large amphitheatre for concerts and take a place near the Rose garden in the north-west part. The glasshouse has been demolished to introduce a new water feature that reminds of an ornamental pond. The old pond for water plantation has been turned into children’s play area and next to this, where used to be the Rose garden, has been constructed a new café. Finally, there has been introduced an underground entrance in the east or the park.
