The original estimate was far less than $1 billion.The facility, which will be built on the former El Toro Marine Base, would be one of the largest urban parks in the nation.Planners said the park would take shape in phases with some features appearing within several years, while more dynamic changes to the flat, barren landscape would take decades.Money for the work is expected to come from fees and taxes from the housing that will be built on the edges of the park.”That means no new taxes for the citizens of Irvine,” said Michael Pinto, a park board member.While demolition of the former El Toro base continues, a two-year grading project will begin by fall that will dramatically alter the landscape as workers carve out a 21-acre lake, the giant canyon and an amphitheater area.”We won’t have buildings, but in two years we will have a complete park outlined by the grading so people can visit and picnic, hike and go bicycling,” Pinto said.At 1,347 acres, the park will be larger than Manhattan’s 843-acre Central Park but smaller than Los Angeles’ 4,200-acre Griffith Park.The new cost estimate reflects the design of Ken Smith, a New York landscape architect, who heads the park’s design team.The Great Park will include a botanical garden, museums and foot bridges, athletic fields, research facilities, wildlife corridor and miles of trails.Tethered-balloon rides are set to launch this summer, although a nearby mini-park won’t be ready for a year, officials said.The initial phase is expected to cost about $450 million and will feature a visitor center, athletic fields, orchards and a park entrance with fountains, reflective pools, a cafe and a 300-foot-wide rectangular steel gateway.But Yehudi Gaffen, a design team spokesman, told the park board that planning and cost estimates “will change many, many times” as the master plan evolves.For example, the amphitheater can have a wide cost range depending on how the structure is built and the number of seats, he said.Costs per seat can be a low $1,000 or up to $20,000, depending on the sophistication of the theater, Gaffen said.
