The city of Goodyear, Ariz., hit a homerun in 2009 with the addition of the Goodyear Park and Recreation Complex. The new facility is the spring training home for two Major League Baseball teams, the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds, and is accompanied by a recreational complex for the community that delivers entertainment, revenue and a place to play ball.
The park provides 8,000 stadium seats, six suites, 500 premium seats and a party deck.
“The ballpark gives us a great venue with its vaulted infrastructure, seating and concessions to host major city events,” says Mike Svetz, Director of Parks and Recreation for Goodyear. It hosts holiday, church, symphony and other community events.
