More than 120,000 people flocked to Salini National Park to enjoy a  blend of holiday cheer and environmental education during the  Christmas in the Park  event, striking the perfect balance between festive entertainment and sustainability awareness. 

This event was organised by the Ministry for the Environment and Energy with the participation of various entities within the same ministry.

The park’s main attraction was the illuminated pathway, where visitors could explore and seek information on endangered creatures in a novel and interactive way. An area in the park was transformed into the Enchanted Forest, featuring various lighting effects for families to enjoy as they strolled through the area. Visitors also had the opportunity to engage in sustainable crafts, explore the potting shed and greenhouse, navigate a maze, and participate in other educational games.
