OV Ta’ Qali Adventure
Park - The main concept
behind the establishment
of the ‘Adventure Park’
was that of introducing an
innovative
recreational
facility for families with young
children of all abilities. As a result
of this, a chaotic and dangerous
open space previously used as a
through road was eliminated and a
better organised parking and traffic
management was established.
In fact the entire ‘Adventure Park’
site, stretching approximately 400
meters, is situated on the ex- RAF
runway, flanked with the ever popular
‘Picnic Area’ on one side and the
‘Meridiana’ vineyards on the other.
The Adventure Park is basically
divided into two main areas: the
play area targeting children of
age bracket 2 to 12 and the area
primarily meant for
youths and
adults, with the Amenity Building
centrally located in between. The
area for age bracket 2 to 12 hosts
play equipment and water features
earmarked for all abilities whilst the
other, which hosts the ‘Rope Course’
structure, is earmarked for older
children/youths and adults alike. The
Amenity Building houses, besides a
cafeteria, separate male and female
sanitary facilities, accessible to all.

ugibba Water Park - This
boat shaped enclosed
area is divided into
three coloured parts,

band is given:
Green for toddlers below 80cm in
height, yellow for children from 80

not exceeding 1.60 metres in height.
All sessions are based on a 20 minute
duration, with the first session
starting at 10.00am and the last
finishing at 7.00pm. During summer
2013 an average of 300 children
visited the park daily.
Water features include: the Palm

fun water cannons and Bucket Tower
in the blue coloured part, targeting
youngsters.
