3 the vision a. Overall planning & design approach The long-term vision for Lake Ellyn Park relies on the many existing features, attributes, and history of the park, as well as the current attitudes and perspectives of the community it serves. The vision is illustrated in an overall site plan that generally locates proposed “plan elements” that already exist, are proposed to be modified, or proposed new park features. The plan elements are described in further detail in this section of the plan. used features and programs in place, and replace, repair, and upgrade them in accordance with the principles and goals of the master plan. The Lake Ellyn Park master plan is largely about “polishing the gem” of Lake Ellyn Park in subtle yet functionally and aesthetically significant ways. This approach will allow for the park to continue to serve the people of Glen Ellyn for many more generations. 1. “Polishing the gem” It is clear from the long history of the park and the opinions and comments offered by many people throughout the design process that Lake Ellyn Park is a substantial community asset. Lake Ellyn is inseparably connected to the fabric of the Village, and its features and elements are much loved by most everyone in the community. It is truly a gem for the people of Glen Ellyn. While it is a gem, many of its elements, features, and landscapes are impacted and depreciated by age, use, weathering, and other factors. In order to even maintain existing features, a robust program of protection, renovation, management, and stewardship must be proactively planned for, budgeted, and implemented. While a range of options for various plan elements and features were considered during the planning process, the end result was to largely keep existing, frequently existing conditions at Lake Ellyn Park Lake Ellyn Park Master Plan 29
