A tour of the City of Northcote was undertaken on 23 May 1933 as part of the Northcote Jubilee Celebrations.
 Visitors taking part in the Tour of the City were requested to assemble in the Town Hall, at the Westbourne Grove entrance, at 2 pm.
 Places were allocated to cars and the procession traversed the following route –
"Turning right into Victoria Road and continuing to Bastings Street, and again turning west to pass possibly the best laid-out gardens in the City, known as Johnson Park..."
Changes to the park layout that occurred during the period from 1930 to 2003 can be traced though comparison of park plans.
 Unfortunately, as was done for Batman and Penders Parks, no large scale plans appear to have been drawn up for Johnson Park to show proposed or existing conditions before works were undertaken.
It therefore seems that the changes which occurred in the Park during this period were part of an incremental simplifying of the park rather than as a result of a major landscape upgrade as occurred with the other two parks.
 During these times, additional items were added to the Park including a picnic rotunda, barbecues, tables, seats and additional playground equipment.
 Additional tree planting also occurred but this did not substantially alter what was presumed to be the original park layout.
 Far more substantial over this period was the loss of the eastern boundary and central feature paths and their associated avenue planting.
