The two maps illustrate Grange Park as it appeared in 1920 and its layout today.
The park has undergone significant changes, particularly in its central axis, with a noticeable shift towards more informal and contemporary recreational facilities replacing the original symmetrical design.
In 1920, the park was designed with a symmetrical layout, featuring two rose gardens on each side and placed at the center with the fountain. Along the axis from the middle point were strategically located features such as a stage for musicians on the West, a pond for water plants on the Northeast, and a glasshouse on the Southeast. These elements were evenly distributed, creating a formal and structured ambiance.
The contemporary layout features, in the center, a replacement for the rose garden surrounded by seats. A large amphitheater for concerts dominates the left side of the central axis, which now extends further to include a café and a children’s play area. Notably, the right side now features a water feature, replacing the symmetrical arrangement of the previous structures.
