The given diagrams illustrate that a
park
initially
 opened in 1920 and how it appears today.
Overall
, it is readily apparent that the
park
 has undergone some moderate changes, with the addition of more facilities and recreational areas. In terms of the entrances, in 1920 there were two in the north and south ,
whereas
 today we have gotten entrance from the underground car
park
 in the bottom right-hand corner, which is located near the water feather.
However
,
instead
 of the water feature, there was a glasshouse.
In addition
, the top right-hand corner was occupied by a rose garden and a pond for water plants, even though both were redeveloped giving a way to café and children's play area. With regards to the stage for musicians in 1920, it has experienced expansion and has been renovated into an amphitheatre for concerts. Another striking change is that a fountain in the centre has been converted into a rose backyard, surrounded by seats, even though in the past seats were allocated along the entire
park
.
Nevertheless
, another rose
park
 in the southwest has been knocked down, and just one in the northwest hasn't seen any change.
