Goodyear is a West Valley city named for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which once grew cotton here for tire cords. Goodyear Ballpark now hosts spring training baseball for the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds, drawing fans each February and March. Estrella Mountain Regional Park, south of the city, offers desert trails, picnic areas, and views of the Estrella Mountains. Palm Valley and other neighborhoods have grown rapidly, with parks, schools, and shopping centers serving new families. The city balances its industrial past with a modern suburban present.
