Whitehills, London Ontario
Northwest London Family Living — Three Schools, Five Parks, and London's Best Aquatic Centre at Your Doorstep
About Whitehills
Whitehills developed through the 1970s and 1980s along the Wonderland Road North and Fanshawe Park corridor, and it has the lived-in character of a neighbourhood that knows what it is. The housing stock is primarily 1970s-era bungalows, split-levels, and two-storey homes on well-kept lots, alongside newer townhouse developments that attract buyers looking for lower-maintenance options at accessible prices. Three elementary schools — Emily Carr Public School, Wilfrid Jury Public School, and St. Marguerite d'Youville Catholic School — sit within the neighbourhood boundaries, meaning most families never put their kids on a bus for elementary school. For recreation, Whitehills punches above its weight: the Canada Games Aquatic Centre at 1045 Wonderland Road North houses London's largest indoor pool, Medway Park brings a spray pad and the Medway-Kiwanis Skate Bowls, and Jaycee Park's 12.6 acres deliver a baseball diamond, soccer field, multi-sport court, and proper walking trails. The Fox Hollow Ravine corridor connects residents directly to the Medway Valley Heritage Forest — one of London's most significant Carolinian forest systems — without ever leaving the neighbourhood on foot.

Local History of Whitehills
Whitehills takes its name from the gentle rises along the Wonderland Road corridor — and that corridor carries more history than most residents know.
Wonderland Road — The Summer Gardens
1935In May 1935, the Wonderland Summer Gardens opened along Wonderland Road and quickly became one of London's most popular entertainment destinations. Brothers Charles and Wilford Jones ran the facility, offering indoor and outdoor dancing, swimming, and fine dining. For decades it drew Londoners from across the city for summer evenings out. The gardens are long gone, but the road that brought people here still runs north through Whitehills, carrying the name of London's best-remembered summer destination.

Life in Whitehills
The amenities, parks, and local businesses that make Whitehills worth living in — not just worth buying in.
Canada Games Aquatic Centre
The Canada Games Aquatic Centre at 1045 Wonderland Road North is London's largest indoor pool facility — and it sits steps from Medway Park, right in the heart of the Whitehills neighbourhood. Competitive lanes, recreational swimming, diving boards, swimming lessons, aquatic fitness classes, and facilities for swim meets make this the most complete aquatic centre in the city. For Whitehills families, having London's top pool as a neighbourhood amenity is a daily quality-of-life advantage that most communities can only wish for.
Medway Park & Skate Bowls
Medway Park on Wonderland Road North brings together a spray pad, a large playground, and the Medway-Kiwanis Skate Bowls — an intermediate-to-advanced skate facility with waves, a pump track, bowled corners, and a generous deck area. The adjacent Medway Community Centre at 119 Sherwood Forest Square houses the Ray Lanctin Memorial Arena with one ice surface, heated spectator seating, and public skating through the winter season. One corner of Wonderland Road North covers most of what a Whitehills family needs for active recreation.
Jaycee Park
Jaycee Park at 1830 Aldersbrook Road is Whitehills' largest neighbourhood green space — 12.6 acres with a baseball diamond, soccer field, multi-sport court, playground, and well-maintained walking and running trails. The park is dog-friendly, fully accessible, and free year-round. For families who want an active outdoor life from their front door rather than a drive to a conservation area, Jaycee's size and variety of sports infrastructure delivers real value.
Norwest Optimist Park
Norwest Optimist Park at 48 Hawthorn Road sits directly beside Emily Carr Public School — a practical detail that makes after-school time seamless for local families. The park features baseball diamond(s), soccer fields, a treehouse-themed big-kid playground, a toddler playground, 4 standard swings and 2 baby swings, and a large open green valley ideal for tobogganing in winter. It's an unpretentious, well-used neighbourhood park that earns its place as one of Whitehills' daily gathering spots.
Medway Valley Heritage Forest
The Medway Valley Heritage Forest is one of London's most significant natural areas — a mature Carolinian forest system with kilometres of trail accessible directly from Whitehills residential streets via the Fox Hollow Ravine corridor. Wildlife habitat, birding, and peaceful trail walking are part of the daily routine for residents who choose to use it. In a city where most neighbourhoods have to drive to reach serious nature, Whitehills residents can lace up and walk in.
