The maps show the comparison of Grange Park as of the opening day and nowadays after remakes.
Overall we can see that despite significant adaptations, the park retains the basic elements of flowers, water, seating and music with the addition of a cafe and a children’s play area.
The fountain in the middle of the park was replaced by a rose garden and seats so that people can look at fresh flowers. The rose garden to the right of the entrance was changed to a cafe. In addition, next to the cafe there is a children’s play area which is a good combination. Moreover, the stage for musicians evolved to an amphitheatre for concerts, which has more seats for the audience. Another new part of the park is a water feature which is placed at the bottom right corner. Next to it a new entrance from the underground car park was added, however the entrances from Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street have not been replaced.
In the past the park used to have some features which we can’t see anymore. The glasshouse has been replaced by the water feature. What’s more, seats have been removed from the edges of the park.
