Great Park of Tirana is a very peaceful place to spend some hours or even the whole day. If offers many things such as a long path you can walk or jog/run and other pathways you can cycle. There are paths which are large and a good group of people can walk onto, but there are also narrow pathways through the woods if you'd prefer to explore nature.
Very close to the entrances, you can find several bars and/or restaurants, and about 3-5 other bars/restaurants through the woods where you can have a drink/ meal quite peacefully and not very expensive. All 3 entrances do have wheelchair access. Inside the park you will the be able to find a small church, a place where kids can play safely. There are also basketball fields, one football field and many other spaces you can play. There is also an mini amphitheater recently reconstructed, which is a great place to have fun on summer nights.
There are also 2 small areas with some basic equipments for exercise, accessible from everyone for free. There is also a small library which has its own timetables, but it offers a great atmosphere to read in front if the lake. The lake has ducks and fish, so kids can be entertained by watching them. There are also a school, a gym and a faculty in that area. It is a perfect place for groups, gatherings and picnic.
A great place to have a long walk, a run around the lake or a beer on the top of the hill.
The best place in Tirana if you are visitingdont miss it for anything! The Great Park of Tirana is the 'lungs of this city'you can enjoy great walks full of nature and people..places to excercise and run and playalso places to sit near the lake and enjoy the viewthere is only one WC place 😞 and sometimes it is closed so you need to go to the coffee bars for that thy havent developed in that area still but there is hope
Enjoy it to the full and its free! 😉
I am surely enjoying my regular walks there
Nice and pleasant park, some areas near to the cafes and fountains are more crowded, but just walk any direction following the path for 5minutes and it will be peaceful and tranquil. To walk around the park following the walking path is approximately 1hr (leisurely pace). There are not many benches around the area south of the park, but many benches around the north part of the park. Dogs are allowed but need to be on leashed. There are at least 2 water fountain, but not sure why many people use it to wash their shoes.
Family friendly park with safe, well lit, and well maintained paths all around. Great for walking, jogging and biking. The park also has play equipment, a skate park, exercise equipment, unpaved paths and several bars and restaurants scattered throughout. There is also quite a bit of new construction currently underway which will add more paths, structures and even an outdoor ampitheatre.
Great attribute of Tirana. Great paths for running and walking. The park contains Orthodox Church (with a wonderful priest and community), restaurants, coffee shops, playgrounds, exercise equipment, and lots of green space (you can even go paddle boarding if you bring your own)
Lovely traditional Albanian restaurant on the edge of the main park. A wooden lodge/chalet type structure decorated with traditional Albanian costumes and staff I traditional Tiranan dress. The food and wine were of very good quality and the service was very attentive. Highly recommend.
Awesome, a lot trees, a moment of fresh air,. Park layout is very nice. If you love nature you need to go there.
Pretty park and interesting to see the vestiges of a prior era still visible
Absolutely beautiful place! Everywhere you go there is greenery and over all it's peaceful and quiet!
Great place for kids plenty of open spaces, for picnics or just messing about by the lake ,lots of room for walkers, jogging, cycling or just sitting people watching at the bars
Great place to go for a walk or to go jogging. It's very clean, pleasant and calm. However, there is no map to know where you are and some paths are not finished. Apart from that, it is a beautiful park.
A decent enough park with a big lake. The café we stopped at by the lake was OK, but nothing special. Fairly close to the city so it is a convenient visit.
A must visit while in Tirana. Super bustling with all walks of life at night. The park also boasts one of the advanced free putdoor gyms I've ever seen! Absolutely beautiful scenery, and vibrant location surrounded by several bars and restaurants for you to sit at while you enjoy the view and get a peak into every day life in Tirana.
