The Sant' Antin Recycling plant is located adjacent to the park, causing controversy after the 2017 fire that shutdown recycling on the island for more than 3 years.^[3] The park was a landfill in the past which had been developed into what it is today using funds given to the Maltese Government by the European Union.^[4] Sant'Antnin also houses a football pitch, an outdoor gym and used to be an enclosed dog park but now it is gone.^[5]

A chapel dedicated to Saint Andrew can be found around 50 metres (160 ft) from the park.^[6]
