I agree it doesn’t look good but I have done a quick calculation and Grange Gardens is about 130,000 square feet and Alexandra Gardens is around 350,000 square feet, so the loss of any green space would represent about 5-10% of each park. Given that covenants prevent commercial or residential development in the Civic Centre I cant see how the space could be developed for anything other than leisure or education. As for Grange Gardens, this could be terrible news for Grangetown if it lost any portion of the park.
