The maps illustrate the layout of the Orange Park in 1920 and in the present day. It is clear that the public park went through significant modifications of its infrastructure, leading to a more developed area with more recreational zones and a new car park.
In 1920, visitors could enter the park from the northern or southern entrance on Arnold Avenue or Eldon Street, whereas today they can also get in by a new entrance from the underground car park. There used to be a fountain right in the middle of the park and a large stage for musicians to perform on the west side of the fountain, but they both have been replaced by a huge rose garden surrounded by seats and a very spacious amphitheater for concerts.
Moreover, there were two rose gardens with some seats around them, mirroring each other on the top and bottom of the amphitheater. There was another rose garden adjacent to the northern entrance of the park, which has been replaced by a café. Also, the pond for water plants on the northeast of the park and a glass house on the southeast of the park have both been replaced by a children’s playground and a water feature.
