Hundreds Of Families Attend Official Opening Of Għaxaq’s Brand New Ġnien Taż-Żebbuġ

Hundreds of families came together in Għaxaq last Saturday to celebrate the official opening of Ġnien taż-Żebbuġ, a brand-new green space brought to life by Project Green!

The special family fun event, organised by Malta Daily in collaboration with Project Green, welcomed parents and children for a morning packed with games, entertainment and outdoor activities.

From giant games and interactive activities to dedicated picnic areas, families had the opportunity to explore the newly regenerated space while enjoying quality time together.

And there's plenty more good news for Għaxaq residents!

Previously abandoned for several years, the 25,000-square-metre site in Triq l-Andar has been completely transformed following an investment of over €1 million.

The new garden features picnic tables, benches, children's play equipment, bicycle parking facilities and plenty of open space for families to relax and enjoy nature.

Importantly, more than 500 existing olive trees have been preserved, while around 150 additional trees and 440 shrubs have been planted to provide more greenery and shade.

The project also includes a rainwater reservoir to support sustainable irrigation.

The garden was officially inaugurated by Environment Minister Miriam Dalli, with Għaxaq Mayor Karl Boxall and representatives from Project Green and the Local Council also attending.

The project was co-financed through European Union funds.

With hundreds of families already enjoying the space on its opening day, Ġnien taż-Żebbuġ is set to become a new favourite spot for outdoor family time in the south of Malta!
