Playgrounds and picnic areas in Oltre il Colle

The municipality calls it the playground of the main village and has worked on it several times in the last two years: in May 2025 it commissioned making some structures safe, in June 2026 the laying of a metal boundary fence on the municipal land next to the park and the supply of wooden boards to maintain a piece of play equipment. In April 2025 the town council decided to buy another 430 square metres of meadow on via Roma, after the 500 acquired shortly before, to enlarge and complete the park: 930 square metres in all, to create the link with the municipal road via a staircase already foreseen in the 2013 land-use plan.

The acts do not describe the full set of play equipment and the municipality does not publish opening hours. OpenStreetMap shows two play areas and a freely accessible drinking fountain in the park. The park is in the main village, along via Roma, the provincial road that runs through the village.

In 2023 the municipality entered the regional call for inclusive playgrounds with the green area on via Fezzoli, at Zambla Alta, which the town council executive describes as an area already used as an equipped public park, with paths, connected to the nearby car parks and to parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities. The 33,600-euro project, funded by Regione Lombardia with 29,965 euros, provided for supplying and installing play equipment with impact-absorbing surfaces, a rest area for people with disabilities, the access and a path to overcome architectural barriers, and signage.

The works, carried out by the company Proludic, were completed with the certificate of proper execution submitted on 11 December 2023; in February 2024 the executive tied the area to use as an inclusive playground, and in July 2025 the town council completed the acquisition of the via Fezzoli area used as a car park and public park. The type of play equipment installed is not described in the acts: for a child in a wheelchair it is nonetheless the most suitable park in the municipality, because it was built for that.

At the Colle di Zambla the municipality has equipped the area it calls Parco del Colle: in May 2023 it bought the stones to build a fountain and a barbecue there, and in August of the same year it commissioned the supply and installation of the iron grill. CAI barrier-free route 104 starts by crossing the playground square at the pass. Next to the Al Trapper bar-restaurant there is also an equipped area, which OpenStreetMap marks as private to the restaurant.

Further on, along the almost level road towards the Conca dell'Alben, the CAI reports a small rest area with benches and tables, and the B&B Sotto l'Alben points out barbecue areas with grills and small tables at Pian della Palla and in the Conca dell'Alben, as well as a drinking-water spring at the Crocetta. Pian della Palla can be reached on foot from the Colle in about 2.8 kilometres or by car from Oltre il Colle along via Drago, about 3 kilometres.

In Zorzone OpenStreetMap shows a small freely accessible playground next to the church of the Santissima Trinità, with a drinking fountain and a bike rack: it is handy for anyone visiting the hamlet's mineral museum. The Camping Zambla, on via Santella, lists among its facilities a playground, table tennis, volleyball and common rooms; it is not a public area, so non-guests should ask first.

For a more structured activity there is the Monte Alben Adventure Park at the Passo di Zambla, with tree-top courses from age 2, which as of 1 October 2026, however, is listed as temporarily closed.

The documented accessible public toilet is at the Colle di Zambla, opposite the Al Trapper bar-restaurant, as CAI Bergamo indicates. For the via Roma park and the via Fezzoli park the municipal acts do not mention toilets. Drinking water can be found at the via Roma park fountain shown on OpenStreetMap, at the Parco del Colle fountain and at the Crocetta spring, which may freeze in winter.

For wheelchair users there are two documented options: the inclusive park at Zambla Alta, designed with a barrier-free path and rest area and close to reserved parking spaces, and CAI barrier-free route 104 from the Colle di Zambla towards the Conca dell'Alben, which can be done with the help of a Joëlette.
