Malden Park Observation Area
Malden Park is an 175-acre park that features the highest hill in Essex County. Located at the highest elevation point in Malden Park, the observation area includes railings, benches, binoculars, landscaping and wayfinding signage. The area provides a clear vantage of the Gordie Howe International Bridge project as the bridge deck construction moves across the Detroit River.
