If Sunday was an advice it would be "have fun and relax". And if Sunday was a place, it would be National Sport Park - Resort; a giant area that includes two swimming pools, a restaurant, a football field, tennis and basketball courts. I totally adore sports and once a week is enough for me to spend a whole day doing what I enjoy the most: swimming, playing and eating.
Everything at National Sport Park creates that "inner peace" for me: being surrounded by the green color of harmony and energy at the same time. Even at nights, I like the music in the background while siting on the tables near the pool (the one at the garden) with the phone switched off so nothing can ruin my day of relaxation.
National Sport Park might not be close to the center but it can be reached by public transportation and the buss stop of that bus line (Sharra - Uzina Dinamo) is very close to the center so you can get there very easy if you didn't come to Tirana by car.
P.s. Only the bar is 24 hours open and the pools are functional only during summer season.
