Answer –
The two plans display how the Grange Park has been redeveloped in the present compared to 1920 when it was inaugurated.
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 of the park 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 the way to an amphitheater for concerts, which has been built with a c-shaped seating area. While the rose garden located near Eldon Street has been demolished along with all the seats in that part of the park, the other rose garden located to the left of Arnold Avenue has remained unchanged.
On the right-hand side of the Arnold Avenue entrance, the rose garden was replaced by an area that now accommodates a café, and just east of this a play area for children has taken the place of the ponds for water plants. On the opposite side of the café, the glasshouse has been replaced by a water feature, which is located next to the new entrance of the underground car park that has been built at the place of seats.
