The maps reveal a public park called Grange Park when it initially opened in 1920, and how it looks now.
Overall, the park layout has been updated to include modern facilities, which have replaced some natural features. The updates have improved the park’s accessibility and functionality.
The two entrances on Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street have remained the same. Once inside the park from Eldon Street, the central feature used to be a fountain, which has been replaced by a square rose garden surrounded by seats.
The park’s left side, which previously hosted a stage for musicians, now features an Amphitheatre. Additionally, now only one rose garden is located on the left side along Arnold Avenue. In comparison with 1920, there was one more garden placed in front of the stage for musicians along Eldon Street.
On the right side, a water feature has been added, taking the place of the previous glasshouse and seating area. A café and children’s play area now occupy the space where the rose garden and water plants’ pond used to be, opposite the water feature.
