Wonderland Hills
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Single-family houses and townhomes built between 1965 and 1990 ring the water on lots of 0.15 to 0.40 acres, stepping uphill toward the hogback. The Wonderland Lake Trailhead at 4201 North Broadway has 19 standard parking spaces and links the Wonderland Lake and South Foothills trails plus the Foothills Nature Center, a converted farmhouse used for open space programs. Three walk up launch zones for hang gliders and paragliders sit west of the lake, with landings over in Foothills Community Park. The SKIP bus stops on Broadway at the trailhead, north of Sumac Avenue and south of Utica Avenue.
