The Adventure Park in Ta’ Qali forms part of the Malta National Park. It is located on an ex-military aircraft runway and covers an area of 14,000 square meters.
The Park is aimed for all families to enjoy, especially children, including those with special needs. It provides games and activities for children aged over 1 year, including teenagers. One can also find educational equipment that facilitates the understanding of mathematical and scientific principles.
The playing areas are complemented with seating and relaxing facilities, including a cafeteria. The Park is beautifully landscaped, with new trees and shrubs planted, while natural turf and a new irrigation system were also laid.
The Adventure Park is generating alternative and renewable energy, both from solar and wind power. All the electrical energy used in the park is generated by a solar panel system on top of the cafeteria and three integrated PV panel systems (BIPVs) on adjacent buildings. A wind tree that generates electricity has also been installed. Altogether, these systems will produce enough energy to cater for all the Adventure Park installations.
The fountains and water features have been modernised and all the outdoor furniture has been renovated.
A new CCTV system has been installed, covering the entire park to ensure maximum security for all, as well as prevent vandalism. A WIFI system has also been installed for public use throughout the park.
This project consisted of a redesign of this garden on three levels, containing children’s play areas, a structure to provide shade as well as ramps and stairs that connect the different levels. The garden paving was in hardstone while the ramps and stairs were paved with granite.
The garden included new benches, waste bins and lighting poles and was equipped with new lighting and irrigation systems. Some of the trees were transplanted and plants were planted all around the garden. A Planning Authority permit was sought and obtained, whilst tenders were drawn up, published, and awarded for the paving works, street furniture and services.
Demolition, excavation, masonry and concrete works were carried out by the employees of the Project Implementation Directorate in the last months of 2020, whilst the contractor laid the paving as well as the rubber safety matting, the structures for the children’s playgrounds and the lighting poles.
This project consisted of the construction of a public garden and a surface car park on an area of approximately 2,000 square meters adjacent to the Dingli Swallows football ground. The works included the construction of an underground water reservoir, paving works, the installation of outdoor exercise equipment, the installation of street furniture, electrical and mechanical services, and landscaping works.
These works consisted of the embellishment and the replacement of paving in Republic Square, better known as the lower parvis of St Catherine’s Parish Church. As the project was located at a sensitive site, all work was carried out under the constant supervision of an archaeologist. Excavated ditches and canals were found during the excavation work, all of which were protected and, where possible, permanent access was allowed.
Re-paving consisting of lava and hardstone tiles was carried out to form a design that follows the two main axes of the Square. The existing concrete staircases were removed and replaced by hardstone whilst the pavement tiles around the parapet were replaced and made of lava similar to the ones in the rest of the pavements in the church square.
A fountain was also built in the wide part of the sidewalk next to the parvis to serve as a reminder of an ancient water source that was in the same place, as seen in old photographs, but which had been removed in the middle of the last century. Other work carried out included the replacement of the ramp tiles that go down to the public latrine, the passage of new underground services, the installation of new lights to illuminate the Museum of the Parish’s facade, new benches, the construction of a small room under the parapet to house the fountain pumps, and the replacement of service boxes and holes for the feast poles. These works started in 2018 and were ready by September 2019.
This works consisted of the replacement of the existing pavement of the Victory Parish Church parvis. A new iron ramp was also installed to provide access for persons with special needs. These works were carried out during the year 2019.
This playground is in a beautiful place, forming part of a beautiful garden known as Howard Gardens in Rabat.
This playground was completely remade to be safer, more attractive and at the same time respecting and blending well with the surrounding environment. Outdoor furniture was also replaced to a new safer one.
New levels of concrete were given in different phases and the membrane was also placed on it. Underground service ducts were built so that on all the necessary services will pass through them. A new lighting system has been installed with all services now organized as necessary. A new sewage and rainwater collection systems were also installed. A new safe and attractive paving surface has been laid including the design of the eight-pointed cross to complement the surrounding historical environment.
