The maps above show university sports courts in 1990 and now.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. 

The map describes how a university sports courts area has altered from 1990 to the present day. Looking from an overall perspective, it is apparant that the number of total courts for tennis and basketball has increased at the expense of parking and a park, while a formal building with a gym now houses various exercise facilities. These changes allow for more activities.

In 1990, on the left side of the map was a park with trees and grass as well as a car park. Today, the park has been replaced by a large basketball court and a car park with four tennis courts.

On the right side if the map, a structure to contain the various athlete facilities has been erected with only the indoor pool and reception area in the same position in the new building. The changing room beneath the reception area and the pool has been lengthened and moved slightly to the right to line up directly above a new, large fitness center. The fitness center has replaced two tennis courts, now outside the main building.
