The small community of Tolleson enjoys an ideal location west of the downtown Phoenix attractions along the bustling Interstate 10 corridor. Connections to the northbound Loop 101 will further enhance the area’s transportation advantages through the Northwest Valley and to points beyond. The mainline Southern Pacific Railroad and State Highway 85 also serve Tolleson. Once dependent upon agricultural for its mainstay, the city is developing a strong, diversified industrial and commercial base. With a reputation for friendliness and community spirit, Tolleson offers quality facilities like the community center, a local library, lighted ballparks, sports courts, tennis courts, and the open space of local parks. While major hospitals are only minutes from home, two medical clinics are available to meet routine healthcare needs.
Regional recreational attractions include the Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, which hosts important racing events from Indy cars to NASCAR. Expanded shopping is available at Desert Sky Mall in northeast Phoenix, which is only minutes from the stellar musical attractions featured at Cricket Pavilion outdoor amphitheater. A quick trip east on Interstate 10 to downtown Phoenix opens a world of entertainment in world-class cultural venues and professional sports stadiums and arenas. The southern edge of Phoenix is home to the world’s largest municipal park, South Mountain Park, as well as unique attractions like the Mystery Castle. Estrella Mountain Regional Park is even closer to Tolleson for golfing, camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, and picnicking.
