One Team, One Mission
The purpose of the Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan is to offer strategies and operational policies that provide guidance in order to meet the needs of current and future City of Goodyear residents.
A consistent theme throughout the development of this plan has been the City’s commitment to a quality parks and recreation system that delivers high-quality parks, trails and recreation programs, facilities and events for all residents while contributing to the economic well-being of the City.
To meet this commitment to its residents, this plan is organized around the following themes:
Communitydriven
High-quality parks and recreational facilities
Trails that connect the community
Community wellnessthrough recreation
Sustainable maintenance practices
Administration
“right-sized” for the future
