The Public Works Department has recently accelerated infrastructural upgrades in Ta’ Qali, Malta’s largest open green space.

The first phase involved critical works, including new potable water systems, drainage and rainwater management systems, and updated telecommunications and electricity infrastructure.

Currently, the second phase focuses on resurfacing 3 kilometres of roads around Ta’ Qali, with a total investment of €4 million. These upgrades include roads connecting Mtarfa, Ħ’Attard, and the centre of Ta’ Qali, enhancing access to the area.

Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia, during a site visit with Jason Micallef, Head of the Ta’ Qali National Park Division, emphasised the importance of prioritising Ta’ Qali as Malta’s “green lung.” Farrugia noted that once-neglected Ta’ Qali has become a vibrant hub for families thanks to collaborative efforts.

Micallef highlighted the complementarity of the new roadworks with the ongoing regeneration project, which has doubled the park’s size from 220,000 to 450,000 square meters.

In addition to expanded green spaces, the park now features a concert area that recently hosted world-famous artists, attracting tens of thousands of visitors. These improvements aim to provide an enhanced, accessible recreational space for locals and tourists alike.
