On the 31st July 2018, the Mayor and Councillors inaugurated the renovation of the swings in Ġnien Toni Vella. This project involved a large amount of work, including replacement of all the flooring, new equipment, and renovation of existing equipment, removal of the stone fence and installation of new railings.
The lighting which was there previously was exchanged with new and more effective lighting after a call for tenders was issued by the Council.
It also included a total renovation of the football field with the removal of the timber fencing, new artificial turf according to modern standards, netting to prevent balls from going out onto the street as well as new goalposts.
After the blessing by Archpriest Fr David Gauci, a football match was organised between a number of Naxxar footballers and the Councillors.
During her speech, the Mayor, Anne Marie Muscat Fenech Adami, stated that the Council will continue to keep this playground running and in good condition by regular maintenance and even by means of new equipment. Indeed, since it was inaugurated, new equipment has been installed and cleaning of the equipment has also been done several times.
