The two comparative pictures illustrate the changes that have occurred in Grange Park from its opening in 1920 to the present day.
Originally, there was a fountain in the center of the park, surrounded by five seating arrangements along the perimeter. Now, a square rose garden has taken its place in the center, featuring only four seating arrangements around it. One of the rose gardens remains the same on the northwest side.
A café has been introduced to the left upon entering from Arnold Avenue. Adjacent to the café, there is now a children’s play area that has replaced the pond. Previously, a glasshouse was situated to the right after entering from Eldon Street, but this has now been transformed into a water feature above the newly constructed underground car park. Furthermore, the covered stage for musicians has been converted into an open amphitheater for concerts.
Overall, nearly all features of the park have changed significantly, but it still retains its basic elements such as flowers, water, seating, and music, in addition to the new café and children’s play area.
