About Malden, Massachusetts

Malden is a city in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The name Malden was selected by Joseph Hills, an early settler and landholder, and was named after Maldon, England.

Approximately 30 park sites throughout the city provide a variety of recreational facilities including tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and ballfields. (Wikipedia)
