Malden Pond sits a few yards south of the Malden Park Visitor’s Centre, a scenic man-made pond with a fountain in the middle. The pond is not huge, but can be walked around on a mix of paved and unpaved trails, with some marshlands on its southern end.

This carefully restored lagoon is home not only to the herons that give it its name, but also turtles, a variety of fish, and lots of other birds and wildlife.

Blue Heron Lake is a renaturalized pond with countless flowers, birds and insects. A small blue bridge fits very picturesquely into the whole thing. Beautiful walking paths around the lake. This also includes a small hill with gravel paths. Thanks to the otherwise very flat topography, you can see all the way to Detroit in the USA from above. Oh yes... there are also a lot of insects and snails 😅
