Lake Ellyn Park 2013 Master Plan

3. the vision
New Public Restrooms
In order to make the Boathouse more marketable as an
event space, it is proposed that the interior Boathouse
restrooms would need to be to be occasionally closed to
public use. In order to maintain public restroom access
during private Boathouse events, an additional restroom
facility is proposed to serve the public. Located south of
the Boathouse to better serve the playground areas and
lawn during park events, the new restroom facility would
be built within a bermed landscape to minimize blocking
of lake views from Lenox Road. The structure would have
two small one-fixture restrooms with sinks and hand dryers,
either men’s/women’s or unisex.
Landscape grasses and permeable pavers will cover the
sides and roof of the building – resulting in a natural
bermed structure that also creates a new observation deck
on Lake Ellyn. Exterior wood screen and minimal railings
will tie the design of the new restroom facility to the proposed
Boathouse and new deck creating a unified design
language for the Lake Ellyn Park facilities.
