This €1 million investment aims to further improve the quality of life for visitors and enhance the park’s overall appeal.

During a site visit, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works, Omar Farrugia, joined by Jason Micallef, Head of the Ta’ Qali National Park, and architect Nadia Curmi, reviewed the progress of the upgrades taking place across the area.

Among the key developments is the replacement of the existing fencing with a safer, more secure boundary. The project also includes resurfacing the grounds, introducing soft landscaping elements, and installing new outdoor furnishings.

Two sanitary facilities have recently been reconstructed, and trenching work for improved water and drainage systems has been completed.

Farrugia highlighted how the park, which has expanded from 220,000 to 450,000 square metres of green space, exemplifies the goals of Vision Malta 2050—particularly the smart and sustainable use of land.

He noted that this site, once occupied by an illegal factory, has been transformed into Malta’s largest green space, offering a vital recreational hub for families. Jason Micallef added that works will continue to ensure year-round enjoyment for both Maltese and Gozitan visitors.

Meanwhile, final construction is ongoing on a multi-level underground car park beside the Concert Area, part of one of Malta’s largest-ever capital projects—setting the stage for a lively summer season.
