The Dog Park in Ta’ Qali has been given a new lease of life with newly installed accessories and obstacles ensuring a safe zone adapted to dogs of all sizes.
During a visit at this pet-friendly park, Minister for the Environment Miriam Dalli together with Project Green CEO Steve Ellul commended the work conducted by the workers who have given a new lease of life to about 1,627 square metres of land.
With the new fencing made of recycled material, together with a new canopy to provide shade on the installed benches and a colourful environment for dogs to play in, this zone has become safer for all dogs and owners.
This is another project focused on the regeneration of existing open spaces, which prioritises sustainability. As a matter of fact, every structure in the dog park is made up of sustainable material.
Minister Miriam Dalli commended the work done and thanked all Project Green’s workers for their dedication as they ensure all projects completed are sustainable.
“The objective of the regeneration and creation of open spaces is to be enjoyed by everyone. With dedicated spaces and accessories, we ensure that these spaces are safe for our dogs as well,” said Minister Miriam Dalli. She continued by encouraging the public to make responsible use of these spaces and to keep the area clean.
CEO Steve Ellul explained how Project Green will continue working to create new open spaces, whilst regenerating existing ones. He emphasised the importance of security, as this park is surrounded by a fence two metres high and another fence one metre high to create distance between the small dogs’ park and the one for the larger dogs. He also announced that Project Green will continue to work on other open spaces dedicated to dogs, even in the southern part of Malta.
The dog park in Ta’ Qali is open between 6.30am and 8.30pm during winter and between 6.30am and 7.30pm during summer months.
