1. Phasing & costs<br />

The master plan for <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong> <strong>Park</strong> is based upon a<br />

long-term vision, and the proposed improvements will<br />

be completed in phases over time. The park is generally<br />

divided up into the six primary use areas:<br />

• <strong>Lake</strong> <strong>Ellyn</strong><br />

• South Play/Lawn Area<br />

• Boathouse<br />

• North Picnic/Lawn Area<br />

• Ruth Candy <strong>Park</strong>way<br />

• Sam Perry Nature Preserve<br />

Each of these areas includes trails, landscapes, and park<br />

features of various types and uses. It is important that a<br />

more detailed design for each area be developed before<br />

improvements to that area are started. This will ensure<br />

the entire park will function and can be maintained as<br />

intended. It will also help to better define cost and subphasing<br />

parameters and priorities.<br />

Costs/budgeting<br />

As part of this master plan tool to aid in prioritization,<br />

budgeting, and fundraising, an estimate of potential<br />

capital costs has been developed and reviewed with<br />

the GEPD Board. The following is a list of the plan<br />

elements, and a range of capital costs to implement these<br />

elements. These costs are conservative, master-plan level<br />

budgeting figures, and include construction costs, design,<br />

engineering, permitting, initial warranty period (as<br />

appropriate), and a contingency. Costs are based upon<br />

certain design assumptions, typical recent unit costs, and<br />

similar park construction projects or components, and are<br />

subject to change based upon detailed design, sequencing,<br />

escalation, and other factors.<br />
