Answer –
The two plans compare how Grange Park has been redeveloped today to 1920, its inaugural year.
Overall, Grange Park has seen a significant transformation from having mainly natural features to having mostly modern facilities over the period given. Another notable change is the addition of a car parking lot.
Entering the park from the Eldon Street entrance, the fountain in the centre has been demolished, and this area now houses a rose garden with seats arranged all around it. To its left, the stage for musicians has given way to an amphitheatre for concerts, built with a C-shaped seating area. While the rose garden near Eldon Street and all the seats in that part of the park have been demolished, the other rose garden to the left of Arnold Avenue remains unchanged.
On the right-hand side of the Arnold Avenue entrance, the rose garden was replaced by an area that now accommodates a café. Just east of this, a play area for children has taken the place of the ponds for water plants. Opposite the café, the glasshouse has been replaced by a water feature, and next to it, a new entrance to the underground car park has been built in the place of seats.
