Up to the North of Malta, where the ocean breeze hits the land, you will find the coolest pirate ship for your kids to play in. A huge, brightly coloured playground ship with four different slides! It’s quite difficult to walk past and not spot! Your little ones will surely have a blast there as they make up stories about the ship and try out every slide.

The Lovely Garden – Ġnien il-Qigħan
The garden and playground are located opposite the primary school in Mellieħa so you won’t have any trouble finding them. Although the playground area is not very large, one can enjoy a short walk around the garden too. The garden also has several benches where you can sit and relax whilst watching your little ones run around and play. Both the garden and playground are not secured by gates so we definitely recommend staying alert. Once you’re there you might also come across a cat or two making their way under the trees for some shade.
