Community Highlights
Lake Ellyn Park is a 28.7-acre public park. This beautiful lake became the centerpiece of this park in the 1920s. There’s a paved trail looping around the water, about 0.65 miles long, taking you past a tract of restored oak savanna in the park’s northwest corner. Other amenities include an open play area, demonstration garden, playground, picnic area, and two stationary grills.
Marché is more than another excellent Marcel’s Culinary Experience: it’s a zippy hive – alive with a curated collection of delectable foods, amazing entertaining accessories, and a crew passionate about cheese, wine, and accouterments.
