I wrote these sentences. They are from my essay.
"In 1920, at the center of the park was a fountain between a northern entrance leading to Arnold Avenue and a southern one with access to Eldon Street. The western section of the park was dominated by a musician stage, and on both the northwestern and southwestern corners, there was a rose garden with seats on each side."
"Everything that used to be on the eastern section—except the seats, which were moved to the side of the rose garden—have gone or disappeared, making way for a cafe and children's play area on the northeastern corner and a water feature in the southeastern corner."
1) Is it correct to say an entrance "leads" to a place?
2) Is it "in" or "on" the northeastern corner?
3) I have never used "and" in this way until now. I could have said "...making way for a cafe, children's play area, and water feature", but then, I wouldn't have been able to specify the location of those things.
Is my use of "and" in the 2nd sentence grammatical?
