The maps illustrate changes in the city park between when it first opened and how the park is today.
Overall, a comparison of the two plans shows a modernization of the park, with new buildings such as a cafe, a water feature, a children’s play area, and an amphitheater for concerts.
In 1920, there was a fountain in the middle of the park, and it was replaced by a rose garden with seats around it. On the left side of the fountain was a small stage for musicians, which was renovated into a big amphitheater for concerts today.
In contrast, on the right side of the rose garden, a children’s play area was constructed where there was previously a pond for water plants. And the plans illustrate the cafe next to the playground. Upon entering Grange Park, just turn right, and the water feature is noticeable today, which was not there in 1920.
