Goodyear Community Park — Attraction in Goodyear

Overall, nice place for the kids to play.

Several play areas and a splash pad. Bad thing about splash pad is there is NO policing of the area at all. Upsetting to no end when uninformed, or those who just blatantly disregard rules, put MY child or myself, at risk of becoming ill.

Snapped pic submitted with review of women letting an infant play in the water with just a regular diaper. This splash pad does get shut down a few times each summer due to cryptosporidium outbreaks from idiots like these that put everyone at risk.

For second time this summer, see children playing wearing just a diaper (NOT even a swim diaper). PLEASE understand how splash pads work. Water doesn't just go into the sewer. There is a reservoir into which the water drains. So water comes out, hits your child, runs into their diaper, and then back into the reservior with whatever foul contents it picked up running through the diaper. While the water is treated, if it travels through one diaper of a sick child, you will have the potential to sicken every child at that location for days. If the child is young enough, it could kill them!

Goodyear Park Services, it would be great to have posted signs explaining the need for extra protection with those...

This park is unique. It has adorable child size benches scattered around the walking path around the wood chipped filled play areas. Several shaded pavilions and a splash pad in the center of it all make this a great park for Birthday Parties. I really like the gigantic big kid climbing wall in the very back. There is a lot to like about this park from a mother's perspective. But although it has bathrooms you have to go around a baseball field to get to it. The stalls are outhouse like, with a sanitation dispenser in side the stall and a sink outside around a corner from the stalls. That was a unique setup. I don't know if they would be available if games weren't being played. There is plenty of parking in their huge lot.

A Fire house is set right next to the entrance of this park, It must make for an exciting thing to watch for the kids when there is a call for...

We love this park..it's great for just walking around and getting in some steps or to bring the kiddos and dogs to them run off some steam! They have 2 play grounds one for bigger kids and one for smaller ones (but not too small) my 3 yr old gets around it well but I'm still right there for support. my 6 yr old has mastered both. During the summer there is a splash pad and though it's scary to watch such a wide range of kids running around in water they love it!! It's always clean and being attended to. I wish there were less HS aged kids there sometimes but it can't be avoided since it's right next to the ymca and skate park. 😕 we gonall the time and will continue...
