Ta' Qali National Park, National park in Ta' Qali, Malta
Ta' Qali National Park is a landscaped green space in Ta' Qali, Malta, featuring both native and introduced tree species arranged in formal gardens. The pathways are laid out in the shape of a Maltese cross, creating a distinctive geometric pattern across the grounds.
The park was established as a Royal Air Force station from 1943 to 1950, functioning as a military airfield during World War II. After the war, the grounds were repurposed and transformed into a public recreational space.
The park hosts an open-air amphitheater where concerts and performances take place throughout the year. This stage serves as a gathering point for the community and reflects how locals engage with the space.
The park is located near the National Stadium and Crafts Village, offering ample parking for visitors. It remains accessible during major events and holiday periods, providing flexibility for different times of visit.
Former military buildings within the park now house workshops for local craftspeople, forming the Ta' Qali Crafts Village. This transformation shows how a former wartime site has become a center for traditional craftsmanship and artisanal production.
