The Sunnyside East neighborhood is predominantly large lot single-family homes built on and around Bonneville Golf Course and Hogle Zoo. Homes occupy only 34% of the total neighborhood area due to the expanse of land occupied by the Bonneville Golf Course and Hogle Zoo, both of which are major regional activity centers. A tennis club and community baseball fields are also located within Sunnyside East neighborhood. The neighborhood is bisected by Emigration Creek, which runs through the zoo and golf course.
