Wied Inċita Open To Public: 20,000 Square Metre Garden Space

Dec 18 2024

Wied Inċita, a 20,000-square-metre green space in central Malta, has reopened to the public after extensive restoration by Ambjent Malta.

This project marks the first phase of a broader initiative to increase public green spaces.

Once inaccessible, Wied Inċita has been transformed into a family-friendly natural park, with 750 trees, hundreds of shrubs, picnic benches, gazebos, and reconstructed pathways for safety and accessibility.

A modern irrigation system was installed to support plant life during hot summers.

The site, previously allocated to a consortium in 2002 for landscaping, has been returned to public use through a new agreement with GEB.

The transformation aligns with Environment Minister Miriam Dalli’s pledge to provide 40,000 square metres of green spaces by year’s end. Other recently opened parks include Spencer Gardens, Hospice Gardens, and Villa Portelli Gardens.

Minister Dalli emphasized the long-term upkeep of these spaces through sustainable materials, modern irrigation, and dedicated maintenance efforts. Looking ahead, 19 additional projects are planned, including green spaces in Pembroke and Santa Luċija.

Wied Inċita now offers a safe, accessible environment with stunning views, natural pathways, and restored rubble walls. Its inauguration included tree planting by local schoolchildren, symbolising a commitment to community and sustainability.
