An investment of € 25,000 by the Ministry for Inclusion and Quality of Life together with the Parliamentary Secretariat for Sport, Recreation and Voluntary Organizations, with the participation of SportMalta and the Mqabba Local Council , has led to the transformation of part of the Children’s Garden in Mqabba into a physical exercise facility that will benefit children and their parents in particular.
The work consisted of three gym machines, complemented by landscaping works throughout the garden.
Minister Julia Farrugia Portelli and Parliamentary Secretary Clifton Grima visited the facility and expressed satisfaction with the way SportMalta is identifying open spaces in various locations that can be converted into outdoor exercise facilities.
Minister Farrugia Portelli said, “Today we are inaugurating a space that is not only recreational but that is equipped with equipment to enable physical exercises that are certainly instrumental for maintaining a healthy life”, adding that any investment in the health of the people is worth its weight in gold and the government will not refrain from doing so.
