    Verny nice park. I had oppurtunity to visit that place 2 times and can recommend. Many cafes, bars where you can chill. It’s also to possibilty to rent small bike car so you can ride around the park. From the park you have also nice view for mountains :) 👌🏻

    As far as I'm aware since this zoo was built 68 years ago it hasn't changed at all! The animals seem to live in bad conditions and the place seems to be in ruins! This is definitely one of the establishments that the Mayor should reconstruct and build it up to modern standard.

    The only place I mark as favourite in Albania. It's huge, it seems maintained more than anywhere else, or at least when I visited was the only place not swarming in junk. A great lake and rich in tree park. Definitely better than any attraction whatsoever.

    You cannot come to Tirana without visiting this park which is beautiful in all seasons. Very calming place to be with nature. You can stay where it is green or venture down to the lake. There are kids playgrounds, one with a zip line with is great for children. There are also many restaurants dotted around the edge of the park and people selling snacks like freshly made donuts inside.

    Aaaah such a refreshing place in the heart of Tirana. We made the whole turn with my friends. It's about 5km. There are really nice places all around to see. And of course good nature and some animals like ducks and turtles. For sport it's perfect. It's a must see specially for new arriving people. And I guess it's a wonderful place for locals too.

    This is a fabulous park, particularly if you’re a runner, cyclist, birdwatcher, jogger or walker. A beautiful lake is surrounded by a well made track with some side tracks with plenty of room for all. Also a nice restaurant in the park.

    Beautiful park and a great place for walking, running, riding a bike and enjoying a bit of fresh air. The park is very well looked after. There are many rubbish bins spread out around the place. There are also toilets, cafes, juice bar, ice cream stands and so much more. You can spot wild turtles and ducks. Highly recommend to visit.

    Release the three lions to a sanctuary. To further their abhorrent living conditions means you support abusing them. Shame on you. This is not what we should be teaching our children about respect and care for wildlife. Please set a better example and let these lions go so that they can receive better care. The world is watching....

    Great nature in the middle of the city. This is where you completely feel isolated from the rest of the world. Local people come here every weekend to relax and spend time with their families. There are many cafes and restaurants in the park.

    Disgusting. This is absolute filth. Animal prison with wild animals locked into cages all day every day! You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

  • 5/5 Marleana C. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything in this park is beautiful. You can find nooks and crannies to sit and relax, or you can find multiple variations of trails to circle the lake or walk amongst the trees. Restaurants and coffee shops are closer to the upper west side of the park were you can find lake side views. Running in the park has been a joy, however I would recommend to be there as early as possible to avoid the crowds. The park is always heavily visited but still you can find alone time if that is what you are seeking. Overall I believe I have been to the park almost everyday of my stay in Tirana and I feel like it's the best place to walk aimlessly without worrying too much about your surroundings. There are a couple of open areas with playground equipment and exercise equipment. One location with half court basketball. But all in all the space seems more created towards pedestrians, cycling and jogging.

    Beautiful park and lake. Bicycle and running lanes. There are cafes surrounding the lake. Train ride is 250 lek and takes about 25 mins around the lake. In addition, children's area/playground and outdoor gym. Sunset here is amazing as well.

    We had a small wander around near sunset in December. As the sun went down over the mountains we were treated to a lovely view over the lake. We had a few drinks in Favorite Bar and walked home in the dark. I feel like maybe some lighting would be helpful for some but we didn’t struggle. We never felt uneasy or unsafe, unlike similar places in England. Having just read reviews I felt compelled to say that we saw no rubbish, the whole place was nice and clean.

    A very tranquil place suitable for the entire family, all ages! Good for the elderly as an afternoon stroll. Suitable for kids to play. Perfect for pet owners who go on long walks with their dogs! You get a ton of fresh air and you can truly take in the beautiful view of the trees and the lake! There are a few shops and coffee shops as well.

    We took some hour walk there. A nice park, in many parts a forest in the city. Really loved that in some parts are separate trails for walkers, for runners and for bikes. Usually you see two trails (for walkers and bikes) not three as here. When it is warmer probably it is a great place for simple rest, physical activities, culture and so on.

    Best place for a rest there is much green and a nice lake, places for kids and running roads if you want to workout. It's a nice place to escape the extemely hot hours of the midday and a nice place for a morning coffee or a healthy walk full of oxygen. It's a really nice place to visit if you happen to be in Tirana.

    Terrible. Absolutely disgusting. Poor bears and wolves living in tiled cages with nothing but a doghouse to sleep in. The wolves came up to us squeaking out of hopelessness. The ostrich was stuck in a tiny cage where he could barely stand straight. Needs to be renovated ASAP.

    You can bike right through a coffee shop in this park. It's open air of course. There are at least 5 cafes or small restaurants intelligently integrated into the park. And probably a dozen on the periphery. I really like this park. Very pleasant place to walk or bike. There are 2 tennis courts. They really did a good job with this park imho.

    Do visit the park for a relaxed day when you are in Tirana. It’s exactly to Arena, Marriot hotel & MAK Albania hotel. Take a mini train ride along the lake, feed the ducks on the lake, enjoy the gelato & soak into the beautiful park fun, activities & vibes where everyone is enjoying.

    Very nice park in Tirana, we often went there for a walk or had lunch picnic while we visited the city. There are cafes and restaurants inside the park, different paths throughout the park to explore the nature... However be aware of bicycles or scooters since they tend to ride quite fast to cross the park!!

  • 5/5 Lúcia Q. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a brilliant place to go to for peace and shade on a sunny day. There is a very pleasant large lake, an excellent running track and play parks for children. It is a large area and has lots of large trees that provide shade on hot sunny days and pretty flowerbeds. The artificial lake is huge, and makes the park a nice peaceful place. This is definetly best place in Tirana, with big forest and beautiful long park across whole lake, Take your time to relax and enjoy this vibrant park.

    (Translated by Google) ✅ As always, water completes us and a Capital deserves to have this benefit for health and creativity. 🌊 The waters surrounded by separate and well-marked trails for walking and cycling. 🏞 The park has a free outdoor gym, what a luxury. Tall trees with history, roads in all directions maybe even Rome. 👍 (Original) ✅ Como siempre el agua nos completa y en una Capital se merece tener este beneficio para la salud y creatividad. 🌊 Las aguas rodeadas con pistas para pasear y en bici de forma separada y bien señalada. 🏞 El parque tiene un gimnasio gratuito al aire libre, que lujo verdad.

    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.

    (Translated by Google) I didn't really think there was such a beautiful and well-kept park in Tirana! To relax in the middle of the green taking time out of the classic chaos of the metropolis is ideal. There are also bars and a beautiful lake view. Yes, because a beautiful lake is also part of the park. (Original) Non pensavo davvero ci fosse un parco cosi bello e curato in Tirana! Per rilassarsi in mezzo al verde prendendosi del tempo dalla caoticità classica delle metropoli è l'ideale. Presenti anche bar ed una bella vista lago.

    Beautiful park in southern part of the city. There is so much to see it can't be explores in just one day. But if you visit once be sure to take the promonade south beside the lake. About halfway across turn around and stand in awe of the breathtaking vista. The mountains form a postcard worthy image.

    (Translated by Google) Although there are many shortcomings in many aspects, the most important is of course the hygiene that is primary, especially for the fact that most fans and the most fanatical customers are small children who look forward to coming to see this attraction up close. materialize the subjects of most of the money they hear in the garden, again it remains the only zoo in the capital and should be respected as such as one of its constituent elements. I hope that as soon as possible the very interesting project of the municipality of Tirana that will definitely give a completely different page to this attraction, come to life. (Original) Edhe pse ka shume mangesira ne shume aspekte, pikesepari edhe me kryesorja qendron sigurisht te higjiena qe eshte primare vecanerisht per faktin qe shumica e adhuruesve edhe klienteve me fanatik jane femijet e vegjel te cilet presin me padurim te vijne ta shofin nga afer kete atraksion dhe te materializuar subjektet e shumices se perralave qe degjojne ne kopesht , perseri mbetet i vetmi kopesht zologjik i kryeqytetit edhe duhet rrespektuar si i tille si nje nga elementet perberese te tij. Shpresoj qe sa me shpejt projekti tejet interesant i bashkise Tirane qe do ti jape pasyshim nje faqe komplet tjeter ketij atraksioni , te marre jete.

    The Grand Park Of Tirana, It's Really As It's Name, Grand And Very Big, We Will Discuss About It By 3 Topics (1) Cleanness. (2) Enviornment & Greenery. (3) Facilities And Hotels etc. Let's talk one by one, -1: if we talk about Cleanness, then surely you will not be able to find even a bottle of water, because there are dustbins at a good distance and people also maintain it. -2: And Environment Is Really Very Clean Non Polluted Because Trees And Greenery Observe Superfluous, Even It's Made To Experience A Non Vehicle Life, Enjoy The Hitchhiking And Cycling, No Vehicle Is Allowed There, Accept Some Workers, There Is A Big Artificial Lake Which Is Really Very Beautiful, And Beauty Is Getting 2x at sunset Or Rising Time, also Path Are Made Of Classic Stone And Design. -3:There Is Hotel Or Resturant Absolutely, Because It's Environment Friendly Area But As Per Facilities There Are Caffe Shop With Out Door Sitting For A Beautiful View, Seats Are As Per Perticular Distance With Dustbin, Seperate Path For Bicycle And Other Fast Runners, A Seperate Playground For Kids, Gym For Big People And More.... I Am Really Impressed To Give 5 Star Ratings, Really Government Did Awesome Work For The People, Their Health And Life Will Be Stronger And Healthy Too. Thanks You Government Of ALBANIA Nafea Malek.

    The Large Artificial Lake Park is the largest massif of greenery in the city of Tirana. From a functional point of view it solves to some extent the needs of the population for rest and recreation, free movement and jogging for all ages. The surface of the Grand Park consists of a hilly massif with slightly sloping slopes. The current area of ​​the Artificial Lake Park is 156.9 ha, while that of the Artificial Lake is 4.5 ha. The park remains one of the most frequented areas of the capital.

    This park is really peaceful and pretty. It has a big lake and lots of nice places to sit and relax. You can walk around and enjoy the trees and flowers, or maybe even take a little boat ride on the lake (i actually dont know if this is posible, when we were there it was winter and kinda cloudy). It's a great place to go when you want to chill out and enjoy nature.

    (Translated by Google) It is worth going to this zoo for one reason only - to have an idea what a zoo should not look like. Terrifying, provisional, no flash. No descriptions in English, no catering facilities, cages in the pavilion with wolves and fox, dirty, smelly ... darkened ... massacre. Every city has its good and bad sides, Tirana is wonderful, but the zoo is a reserve of death and fatigue, not a teaching institution or a way to spend time. The price - 100, of course - is a laugh in the room, you cannot keep even a shed with such ticket fees. (Original) Do tego Zoo warto pójść tylko z jednego względu- żeby mieć wyobrażenie jak zoo nie powinno wyglądać. Przerażające, prowizoryczne, bez ogłady. Brak opisów po angielsku, brak zaplecza gastronomicznego, klatki w pawilonie z wilkami i lisem, brudne, śmierdzące...zaciemnione...masakra. Każde miasto ma dobre i złe strony, Tirana jest cudna, jednak zoo jest rezerwatem śmierci i umęczenia a nie placówka dydaktyczna czy sposobem.na spędzenie czasu. Cena- 100leke jest oczywiście śmiechem na sali, z takich opłat biletowych nie da się utrzymać nawet kurnika.

    The Grand Park of Tirana (Albanian: Parku i Madh i Tiranës), or the Park on the Artificial Lake, is a 289 hectare public park situated on the southern part of Tirana, Albania, and administered by the Agency of Parks and Recreation of the Municipality of Tirana. The Park includes an artificial lake and many other landmarks such as the Saint Procopius Church, the Presidential Palace, and memorials to several Albanian personalities. It remains one of the most relaxing places in the city, despite increasing buildings being developed near the park, an early-morning run or promenade is a daily routines for many citizens. To the southern end of the Park, there is the Zoo and the Botanical Garden. The latter includes many flowers and plants that are common to the Albanian environment. There are almost 120 species of trees, bushes and flowers. The Botanical Garden area is of 14.5 hectares and the lake's size is of 55 hectares, whereas the area of the Park itself is of 230 hectares. The Park was built between 1955 and 1956 based on a Bulgarian plan and used to be called the Gogo stable, in a green area. The Park starts at the southern end of the Dëshmorët e Kombit Boulevard, after the University of Tirana, south of the main Skanderbeg Square. It was formerly called 'Park of Saint Procopius' (Albanian: Parku i Shën Prokopit) from the Saint Procopius Church, which is located in the area. In the internal parts, there can be found the memorials of 45 British and Australian soldiers fallen during World War II, as well as a memorial of hundreds of German soldiers from the same war. The Park includes the Royal Palace located on the side and close to the Elbasan Street. The Palace, whose building was started by Zog of Albania, served as a Royal Palace only once, for the Italian King Victor Emmanuel III during his only visit to Albania in May 1941 as King of Albania. The Palace had also served vicegerent Francesco Jacomoni and later the Fascist general Alberto Pariani. Now it is the official residence of the President of Albania. The Park was also home of the memorial to the mother of King Zog of Albania, Sadijé Toptani. The monument was destroyed by the communist regime in the 1950s and can now be enjoyed only in pictures. A wall has been built demarcating the park's boundary. The Park is otherwise called the "Lung of the City" due to the diversity of plants. It also includes Botanical Garden and the Zoo and also a complex of swimming pools. In addition the Park has an amphitheatre, where various cultural activities occur especially in summer months. The artificial lake is a well known fishing and also swimming area. The lake was built from local waters in 1955 on volunteer work to build a 400 metres long dam that holds the waters from overflowing onto Tirana. It also notably includes the Tombs of the Frashëri brothers, Abdyl Frashëri, Naim Frashëri and Sami Frashëri. Also, in 1998 the remains of Faik Konitza, former Minister of Albania to Washington, and publisher of the Albania magazine were brought from the United States and put in a tomb located at the park.

    A great place to relax and get close to nature. We rode the tourist train around the lake, and we saw almost everything. I recommend anyone to do it, because the area is huge and it would take a lot of hours to explore everything by foot. Also, a nice idea to rent a bike. The area is well preserved and there are a lot of nice options of activities for you to do, from playing tennis to just relaxing by the lake. Great place for photoshooting as well!
