Italy - A new adventure park, Wonderwood Spina Verde – Lago di Como, is set to open near Como, Italy, in spring 2025. Located within the Parco Regionale della Spina Verde in the municipality of Colverde, the park will offer a variety of outdoor recreational activities aimed at families and adventure enthusiasts. Its unique setting in a regional park known for its natural beauty positions it as a key addition to northern Italy’s growing network of eco-adventure destinations.
Inauguration and Location
The official inauguration of the project took place on December 6, 2024, in the Parco Solare Drezzo area of Colverde, approximately 10 kilometers from Como and close to the Swiss border. Local and regional authorities, including Colverde’s Mayor Marina Pellin and Regional Councillor Alessandro Fermi, attended the event, highlighting the park’s importance to the region. Once completed, Wonderwood Spina Verde will integrate seamlessly into its surroundings, offering attractions that encourage outdoor exploration in one of Lombardy’s most picturesque settings.
Attractions and Features
Wonderwood Spina Verde will feature a wide range of activities to suit different age groups. The park includes adventure courses with varying levels of difficulty, designed to challenge older children and adults while prioritizing safety through the use of harnesses and other equipment. Additionally, younger visitors will be able to enjoy three freely accessible play structures, including the “Villaggio Jungle.” This unique play area spans 40 meters and incorporates acrobatic paths along with a suspended cube positioned five meters above the ground, creating an exciting and imaginative experience for children.
Expansion of the Wonderwood Brand
The addition of Wonderwood Spina Verde near Como marks a significant expansion of the Wonderwood brand, which already operates two successful locations in northern Italy: Wonderwood Milan and Wonderwood Lago Maggiore. The Milan park caters to urban families by providing a compact outdoor adventure experience within city limits, making it a popular destination for school groups and families seeking accessible recreation. By contrast, Wonderwood Lago Maggiore offers a more expansive and scenic environment, situated near one of Italy’s largest lakes. Visitors to Lago Maggiore can enjoy climbing routes, zip lines, and eco-friendly facilities that emphasize sustainability and blend harmoniously with the natural landscape. Together, these parks highlight Wonderwood’s ability to adapt its offerings to different environments, ensuring accessibility and engagement for a diverse audience.
Development and Funding
The development of Wonderwood Spina Verde has been supported by funding from the Lombardy Region, reflecting the area’s commitment to enhancing tourism and creating sustainable recreational facilities. The project has involved close collaboration between regional authorities and local municipalities to ensure the park meets ecological and community needs. This emphasis on sustainability and integration into the natural environment aligns with broader trends in the development of adventure parks across Italy.
Future Prospects
Wonderwood Spina Verde is anticipated to become a key attraction for both residents and tourists in the region. The park’s proximity to Como and the Swiss border, combined with its integration into the Spina Verde Regional Park, ensures that visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities in a protected and scenic environment. Together with its sister parks in Milan and Lago Maggiore, Wonderwood Spina Verde enhances the brand’s presence in northern Italy, offering a triangle of adventure parks that cater to families, nature lovers, and thrill-seekers alike.
Scheduled to open in spring 2025, the new park is expected to contribute significantly to local tourism and recreational offerings. Its combination of adventure, accessibility, and sustainability reinforces Wonderwood’s reputation as a leader in eco-friendly outdoor recreation, making it an appealing destination for visitors of all ages.
