Loma Linda Park

Park Overview

Tucked away south of the I-10 freeway in Goodyear, Arizona, Loma Linda Park is an 8-acre local favorite that sits about a quarter-mile east of Litchfield Road on Loma Linda Boulevard. This green space offers plenty of room for kids to play - safely distanced from busy streets. It's the kind of place where you can spread out a blanket on the spacious fields and just breathe a little easier.

Community Center & Aquatics

Need a space for your next gathering? The park houses a community center that can accommodate up to 60 people. From preschool classes to baby showers, this versatile space comes ready with tables and chairs - though you might want to bring along any extra items you need for your event.

A highlight of Loma Linda is its free admission aquatic facility. Yes, you read that right - free! The eight-lane, 25-yard swimming pool with a diving well rarely feels overcrowded, making for a refreshing escape during Arizona's warmer months. During swim season, you can take a dip Sunday through Thursday from 12-5 PM, or enjoy extended hours on Friday and Saturday from 10 AM-7 PM.

There's also a smaller pool dedicated to swim lessons for various age groups and skill levels. Parents of little ones will appreciate the life jackets provided (though leave those inflatable unicorns at home - outside floats aren't allowed). After your swim, convenient shower facilities near the restrooms make it easy to rinse off before heading home.

Recreation Facilities

For those who prefer land-based activities, the park offers two tennis courts and a basketball court where you can work on your serve or perfect your jump shot. When you need a break from the Arizona sun, the large double ramada provides ample shade for picnics or just catching your breath.

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area next to the pool. It's got all the classics - swings, balance beams, and monkey bars that are just the right height for younger children. The playground includes some unique equipment that you won't find at many other parks, giving children different play options.

Accessibility & Environment

Loma Linda Park features good accessibility. A concrete path connects most areas, and good lighting throughout means evening visits aren't a problem. If you're taking a leisurely walk, finding a quiet spot to read, or simply soaking in some pleasant Arizona weather, the park accommodates everyone.

The absence of stairs makes navigating the grounds easier for all visitors. Parents will appreciate how the park sits well back from main roads, creating a safer play environment. And yes, there's plenty of parking available when you visit.

Community Involvement

Loma Linda Park has been adopted by the Fenix Group, showing how locals have taken ownership in keeping this space vibrant. Like all Goodyear parks, Loma Linda is completely smoke-free - creating a healthier environment for everyone while cutting down on litter and maintenance costs. This smoke-free policy helps maintain the park's cleanliness.
