The given illustrations show plans of Grange Park in 1920 when it was first opened and how it looks today. At a glance, it is seen that there is a remarkable change in the layout of this public park as well as some advancements.
The margins of this recreation ground and the area remain the same from the beginning. There are two entrances one from Arnold Avenue in the North and the other open to Eldon Street in the South. An additional access exists today from an underground car park which was not there earlier. Initially from any gate, a fountain could be visualized in the middle of the compound which is replaced by a big rose garden with seats around it for people to relax and breathe scented air. When seen from the North a stage for musicians was in situ to the right of the fountain in 1920 but an Amphitheatre for concerts is erected in place. To the left was a pond for water plants where now a children’s play area stands. The glass house which was there to the south of the pond is not to be seen but a water feature is there instead. Two of the three small rose gardens at the start are removed keeping only one of them near the theater. A cafe replaces the rose plot close to the Northern gateway.
To conclude, there are many recent advancements in the parkland today when compared to 1920 for the public to enjoy their leisure.
