 been built and added to the scheme. It is noticeable from the design in 1920 that the fountain in the central area has been replaced by the rose garden surrounded by seats. The water feature has taken the place of the glasshouse in the right corner below; leaving no place for the earlier seats.
Although
 there was a stage for musicians at the left of the
park
 about a century ago, it has been replaced by an amphitheatre for concerts which people can enjoy.
In addition
 to the upper and lower entrances, an entrance for the underground car
park
 is placed near the water feature. The top left rose garden hasn’t changed,
whereas
 the other one has been removed and replaced by a cafe.
Furthermore
, it appears that having a children’s play area was more appealing to those who changed the
park
 as opposed to a water-plant pond.
