The provided maps illustrate the transformation of Grange Park from its opening in 1920 to the present day. Overall, the park has undergone significant structural changes, replacing most of its original ornamental features with modern recreational facilities and improved infrastructure.
In 1920, the park was primarily designed for leisure and aesthetics. It featured two rose gardens in the northern corners, a pond for water plants in the north-east, and a central fountain. A stage for musicians was situated on the western side, while a glasshouse occupied the south-eastern area. Seating was distributed along the perimeter and near the southern entrance. Both Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street provided direct access to the park.
Today, the layout is markedly different. The original stage has been replaced by a large amphitheatre for concerts. The central fountain has been removed to make way for a new, centrally located rose garden surrounded by seating. The northern pond and the glasshouse have been replaced by a café and a children’s play area, respectively. Furthermore, a new water feature has been installed in the south-east, and an entrance to an underground car park has been added to the south-eastern corner, reflecting a shift towards modern utility.
