Description
This image is of the ramp structure in Malcolm Martin Park. The ramp structure leads you up to the Malcolm W. Martin statue. The Mississippi River overlook was completed in the spring of 2009 thanks to the support of Gateway Center of Metropolitan St Louis, which raised $4.2 million to fully fund its development. It was designed to anchor the western edge of the Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park and provide spectacular views of the Gateway Arch and downtown St. Louis skyline, as well as the Gateway Geyser. The handicap-accessible tiered structure stands over 43 feet tall at its highest point, and is highlighted by an illuminated stainless steel railing system so that visitors can enjoy both daytime and night-time views.
