stadium
'das Stadion' and 'der Sportpark' can both be places for sports. A 'Stadion' is a single large sports facility with stands, for example for a game or a competition. A 'Sportpark' is broader: it can contain several sports venues, such as a stadium, sports halls, fields, or a swimming pool. The words can be confused because a stadium can be part of a sports park. If you mean a specific large building with spectator seating, you say 'Stadion'. If you mean the whole facility with several sports options, 'Sportpark' fits better.
