Spinola Park was a unique architectural project in Malta for a number of reasons; its location, its Eco friendly stance, but primarily because of its communicative and social point of departure. The project is located in triq Mikiel Ang. Borg, just off the Spinola Piazza in the heart of St. Julians. Before any plans were drawn up the promoters of the project along with the architects approached the surrounding soon-to-be neighbours. These included; residents in Lapsi Street, the St. Julians Parish Church, the Local Council, and owners of commercial businesses and eateries close to the site.
