ATTRACTIONS I N A N D A R O U N D GOODY EA R Goodyear Ballpark is the crown jewel of the City, but there’s lots of other gems nearby to see and explore.
Just south of I-10 on Bullard Avenue is
SOUTHWEST SPECIALTY FOOD, which makes over
200 specialty products – including Ass Kickin’ Hot Sauce – that are sold worldwide. The plant features a gift shop that is open Monday through Saturday.
As visitors or residents
venture back into town, one can visit a museum of reverence, THE BIBLE
MUSEUM inside the Hampton Inn and Suites at 2000 North Litchfield Road. The Bible Museum is home to a collection of biblical artifacts that date back as far as 2,100 years.
One of the most scenic
areas of the Valley, Goodyear’s ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN REGIONAL
PARK is located south of the ballpark. At 19,840 acres, it provides some of the best hiking trails in the region – and features the only grass picnic area in the Maricopa County Park System, 65 acres worth.
WHITE TANK MOUNTAIN REGIONAL PARK
provides some of the most challenging hiking trails in the area northwest of Goodyear. For those who think
Arizona is home to just antelope, elk, deer and black bears, more animals of a rare and exotic nature can be seen at the WILDLIFE WORLD ZOO. The zoo, located at 16501 W. Northern Avenue in neighboring Litchfield Park, has more than 6,000 animals, most from other countries.

RECREATION S P E CTACU LA R GOODY EA R TRA ILS There are many interesting facts about Goodyear, but two that were hidden gems are growing in popularity – hiking and biking. Residents and visitors are not only taking advantage of Goodyear’s many neighborhood parks, but exploring the scenic hiking and biking trails nestled along the Estrella and White Tank mountains. Goodyear features at least 70 miles of combined mountain and paved biking trails – more on the mountain side that mostly are in the Estrella
Mountain Ranch community and Estrella Mountain Regional Park. If you’re looking for a smooth ride, there’s a paved path along the Bullard Wash closer into town. For those who prefer to travel on foot, desert hiking in Goodyear is becoming ever more popular. Estrella Mountain Regional Park’s 19,840 acres of desert and mountain terrain includes a large wetlands and riparian area, truly making it one of the last frontiers in West Valley hiking.
