Fusha e Aviacionit Grand Park Residence

The park is set around a lake with walking trails branching out from the shoreline. In the summertime, the park hosts outdoor cinema nights. If you visit in the evening time, you're likely to catch elderly gentlemen playing chess and locals participating in the Albanian pastime xhiro, which translates literally to "walking", but more accurately describes a time when people gather in third spaces, get outdoors, and make time for leisure. Just south of the prestigious Blloku district lies the Grand Park of Tirana, which is the main spot in the city center for fresh air and a bit of physical activity. It covers 230 hectares and includes a large artificial lake. Here you'll find the famous Presidential Palace, which was originally intended as a residence for King Zog I, but was completed just a few years before the advent of communism.
