A key part of what makes the Wonderland Hill neighborhood special is Wonderland Lake, and the extensive hiking and biking trail system that weaves through Wonderland Hill connecting it to the a 21-acre wild-life refuge which really defines what Wonderland Hill is all about.

The lake area includes a beautiful park with a childrens play area, convenient benches, and a large well-maintained open lawn perfect for an ad hoc game of frisbee.

One unique aspect of Wonderland Hill is that theres no real parking for guests around the park, lake or other areas, which means that while its a haven for its residents on many levels, it has not, and probably never will become a destination location for Boulder locals who live outside the Wonderland Hill neighborhood. Except for the frequent bikers and hikers using the hogback trail system along the western edge of the neighborhood.
