A children’s environmental group has expressed concern about the opening hours of the new water park in Buġibba, saying that children would be exposed to the sun at its hottest.

Celebrities for Kid said the opening times of the water park, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. encouraged children to play in the harmful early afternoon hours, and urged the authorities to reconsider them.

However, the Rural Affairs Ministry condemned the “negative” press release issued by the group, headed by Labour candidate Chris Fearne, saying parents were free to take their children to the park at whatever time of the day they liked – just like the beach. It said the matter was ultimately the parents’ responsibility.
