Goodyear, Desert suburb city in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States
Goodyear is a suburban city in Maricopa County, Arizona, located roughly 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of downtown Phoenix. The area spreads across low-rise neighborhoods, shopping districts, and open desert terrain, with dry mountain ridges visible in the distance.
A tire company founded the settlement in 1917 to grow cotton for industrial use. The town remained small until the 1990s, when it began expanding rapidly as a Phoenix suburb.
The ballpark draws fans during training months and serves as a meeting point for local sports followers. Nearby golf courses attract players year-round, while community centers host regular gatherings and weekend markets.
Highway access makes it easy to reach surrounding areas, while local roads lead to shopping centers and recreation spots. Most facilities are reachable by car, as public transit options are limited.
A massive abandoned structure for harness racing stood empty for decades before demolition. The concrete building was visible from afar and became a strange local landmark.
