Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park 185 West Trendley Avenue, East St. Louis, IL 63102

"This is a great place to view the arch. The park was nice but I did not spend any time there - I just did not want to go into St. Louis to get a picture at the arch."

"It was a very nice park. Although it seems like most of its purpose is to view the Gateway Arch. That's fine since that's why we went there. It allowed us to get a nice view without all the hassles of traffic and parking. We didn't want to go up in the arch, so this was a nice alternative. The platform was wonderful that gives you a perfect view of the arch and surrounding park. There is a bonus that you have the Mississippi River in your view as well. It's very nice and probably results in really nice pictures. Unfortunately for us. It was late afternoon so the sun was starting to get low and facing us. It was also hazy out. But we still snapped a few shots and enjoyed the view. The pictures still we not bad. The rest of the park seemed pretty basic, but a nice place to hang out and relax. They had rest rooms as well. So it's a nice little park. But it's also a really nice alternative view of the arch. So it's worth a visit."

"Went to this park to watch St Louis fireworks. We enjoyed the ramp walkway leading to the statue. That view is just amazing! The geyser is really cool and there's so much space to walk, run, play or just sit and be outside."

"Amazing place. Great view for the 4th of July. You can view the Airshow and Fireworks with no problem! Also Right by where the water shoot up! Great time! Plus they have an elevated stairway that you can walk up and get an amazing view of the St. Louis Skyline."
