The maps illustrate the layout of Grange Park in 1920 compared to its present-day configuration, highlighting the substantial transformations that have taken place over the past century.

Overall, the park has been significantly modernised, with the addition of contemporary facilities such as a water feature, café, amphitheatre, and children’s play area, while traditional features like the central fountain, glasshouse, and stage for musicians have been removed.

Despite these updates, access to Grange Park remains via entrances on Eldon Street and Arnold Avenue. Notably, the central fountain has been replaced by an expansive rose garden that consolidates the previous rose beds from the northeast and southwest corners, leaving only the northwest rose garden intact. Four benches now encircle this central rose garden, relocated from their original positions in the park’s outer corners, though reduced by one.

The former stage for musicians on the western side has been upgraded into a full-scale amphitheatre, designed for concerts, while the pond previously used for water plants has been replaced with a designated children’s play area. Additionally, the space once occupied by the glasshouse now hosts a new water feature, located in the southeast corner beside a newly constructed entrance to underground car parking.
