The two maps illustrate the layout of Grange Park in 1920, when it was first opened to the public, and the changes that have taken place up to the present day.
Overall, the park has undergone significant modifications, with some original features being removed or replaced, and new recreational facilities added to meet modern needs.
In 1920, the park featured a stage for musicians on the left side, a fountain in the center, and a glasshouse on the right. There were also two rose gardens—one at the center and another at the northern entrance—and a pond for water plants in the top-right corner.
Today, the music stage has been replaced by an amphitheatre for concerts, and the central fountain has been removed and replaced by a rose garden. The pond has made way for a children’s play area, while the glasshouse has been replaced by a water feature. A café has been added near the former rose garden in the north. Additionally, an underground car park has been built with a new entrance where the southern rose garden used to be.
In summary, Grange Park has evolved to include more modern facilities, focusing more on entertainment and convenience, while maintaining some of its traditional elements.
