MODEL ESSAY:

The maps illustrate Grange Park in between Arnold Avenue and Eldon Street during  its initial opening in 1920 and at present.

Overall, we can see that there were drastic changes over the time period such as the fountain being replaced by rose garden, the stage for musicians by an ampitheatre for concerts, and the pond for water plants by a children’s play area. Minor modifications have also been done around the park to make it look what it does today.

Firstly, it is noticeable that the water fountain at the center was remodeled into a rose garden, which is surrounded by seats. The stage to the left of the fountain was developed into an ampitheatre where concerts are held, whereas the pond is now an area where children can play. The glasshouse has also been removed and turned into a water display.

In can be noticed that the seats around Grange Park have been removed, and today, it already has an underground car park whose entrance can be found in the south-east of the park.
