The plans below show a public park when it first opened in 1920 and the samepark today. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Grange
Park
was opened in 1920, a rectangular
area
with access from Amold Avenue on the north side and from Eldon Street on the south side. There was a fountain in the centre, with a stage for musicians situated centre left, a glasshouse to the right of the Eldon Street entrance and a pond for
water
plants in the northeast corner opposite Around the edges of the
park
there were rose gardens, with seats nearby for people to smell the flowers and listen to music. The
park
has altered considerably since
then
. Now there is one large-ish rose garden occupying the central
area
where the fountain stood, with seats all around it. One of the smaller rose gardens remains on the north side of the
park
. The bandstand (stage for musicians) has
also
been replaced, by an amphitheatre for concerts and associated seating. The glasshouse has gone and in its place is a
water
feature
similarly
, where the pond for
water
plants stood there is now a children's play
area
with a café nearby. Access to the
park
is still via the two original entrances, but there is now a third entrance near the
water
feature from an underground car
park
Despite the apparently significant changes, the
park
retains the basic elements of flowers,
water
, seating and music, with the addition of a café and a children's play
area
