Gandi Park overlooks Collbran and the Plateau Valley. Yes, that's the Grand Mesa you see in the background. Gandi Park features two fenced tennis courts, a baseball field, and a grassy area which includes a covered picnic area; playground equipment and public restrooms are also available.
 Lilac Park is more in the center of town, at the corner of Elm and Branch Streets. More the size of a large yard, Lilac Park is a great gathering place to let the children play while the parents visit. Benches and a picnic table are waiting for you here.
