Development is progressing slowly on the site of the former Goodyear tyre factory site.

The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018), behind the camera. A fascinating nature conservation area there has been built with three linked pools functioning as an attenuation pond, by Ranger Drive. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company is an American multinational tyre manufacturing company founded in 1898 by Frank Seiberling and based in Akron, Ohio.

The snow is a remnant of the 6-8cm fall dumped by Storm Arwen three days earlier. Looking south-west towards Ranger Drive and Akron Drive.

Looking south-west towards Ranger Drive from the Goodyear Neighbourhood Park. The St Modwen Developments regeneration on the 88 acre former Goodyear tyre factory site has continued for many years, with housing and the relandscaped Wingfoot Park (now named Goodyear Neighbourhood Park and reopened in 2018). The park needs more trees, and some have been planted. The area will be even more attractive in future years. There is a basketball/handball court, tennis courts and a children's play area.

Looking south-east towards Ranger Drive and Akron Drive on a dull November morning. The attenuation pond (balancing pond) is divided into three stepped and linked pools, this image showing part of the third, the main storage (foreground) and the second (a reed pool for cleaning the water). Off to the right, and just visible is a settlement pond (to filter out sediment).

This rather poorly conceived map is near the pools by Ranger Drive. It is rotated so that north is to the left. It has a co-ordinates panel duplicating the Goodyear Park information obscuring important map details; the coordinates could have been placed below on a white section. The map is not of the park at all, but of the newly built housing estate to the south.
