Turning a Negative into a Positive at Malden Hill 

Ever since I was a little kid, I have been going to Malden Park, whether it be for cross country events, or just to spend time with my family. A somewhat well known fact about Malden Hill is that it was once home to Windsor's Landfill... an even cooler fact is that this landfill was a complete transformation of a negative space into a positive space. Malden Hill has become a green space that is host to a 300 foot hill where people can have a really awesome view of the surrounding Windsor Skyline. One can also see as far as Zug Island and Fermi Plants (as unappetizing as those may seem at times), which is pretty amazing. This 175 acre park features a naturalized biking and cycling trails wind up and down the hills through a paved and wood chipped area.The park also has a hall for parties, receptions and hiking trails, a naturalized concert area and picnic areas for families to enjoy.

This past weekend at Malden Park was the "Heartbreaker Challenge", where the park was used to host a 5km obstacle course. The natural wooded area and trails were used as a course. I must say, it was pretty impressive. One does not realize how large and interesting this park is until you are running through trails, sliding down hill, running up hill and climbing rocks. 

This place is especially nice for students who are looking to hike or bike or just get physically active, or to just enjoy a nice afternoon at the park. In other words. You should definitely check out Malden Park.
