The ParksInMalta webapp is a digital tool through which the public will have immediate access to view where open and recreational spaces are located across Malta and Gozo.

With a list exceeding two hundred open spaces, gardens, and playgrounds, ParksInMalta allows people to find where these recreational areas are, while also viewing what type of events are taking place.

Minister for Health and Active Ageing Jo Etienne Abela and Minister for the Environment, Energy and Public Cleanliness Miriam Dalli launched the digital initiative, which they said is aimed at bringing citizens closer to recreational spaces.

Developed by Project Green, ParksInMalta highlights the various features of these spaces, including wheelchair-accessible pathways, inclusive play areas or outdoor gyms, public conveniences, and zones suitable for picnics, among other options.

The Ministers explained how access to a healthy environment is an important factor in improving mental health.

“This is one of the initiatives closest to my heart. In just a few seconds, you can see where more than 200 recreational spaces – gardens, parks, and playgrounds – are located; spaces where people can spend their leisure time,” said Minister Dalli.

Minister Jo Etienne Abela, said that open spaces are necessary and crucial for mental well-being. He emphasised that the Government’s goal is to continue promoting awareness about prevention, to strengthen consciousness and resilience.

“Today we are here in a green and open environment. Our aim is to keep on investing in in care within our communities, where people can find the help they need just a few steps away from their home,” said Minister Abela.
