The maps illustrate the transformation of a public park from 1920 when it first opened up to the public to present.
Overall, the public park has undergone various modifications with the most prominent alterations being the addition of numerous amenities and the renovation of entertainment facilities. Particularly noteworthy is the rearrangements of rose gardens and seatings, providing space for other features and enhancing the park’s landscape.
In 1920, the park was relatively underdeveloped, with natural features dominating the landscape. A stage for musicians occupied the western side, while a pond for water plants located in the northeastern corner. In the park’s center, there was a small fountain with an unattractive design. Entrances were placed opposite of the fountain whereas rose gardens and seats were positioned around the park. In addition, it had a glasshouse adjacent to the southern entrance.
By the present, the public park has significantly changed, with enhanced facilities and creative rearrangements. The stage for musical artists has renovated into an amphitheater for concerts, catering to a broader audience. Meanwhile, the pond for water plants has been demolished to make way for children’s playground, representing a consideration for young visitors. Moreover, the glasshouse has been replaced by water feature and a café has been opened on the original position of a rose garden. Strikingly, rather than scattering the rose gardens and seating areas around the park, these features have been rearranged in a new way, involving a big square rose garden has established at the center surrounded by numerous seats. Despite these changes, the entrances and the rose garden near the northern entry have remained unchanged, providing continuity.
