Ponds Park Playground



Our Parks Department has removed the big hill and slide at Ponds Park and will soon be installing a large climbing rock. The slide was fun for children, but we hope they will enjoy the climbing rock as much as they did the big slide.

The Old Bowman Building


The southwest portion of the old Bowman's Market building on 200 North has been renovated recently. Thanks to The Franklin Group and Dick Bowman for this lovely renovation. It looks very nice.

Winter in October

Welcome winter! We welcomed winter to Kaysville this weekend - whether we wanted to or not. I guess when you live in northern Utah you never know when it might snow. So much for a lovely fall season. The only consolation is that it is beautiful - for a little while anyway. I hope this is not a sign of a long winter!

Heritage Park


Heritage Park (located on Fairfield Road
between Crestwood and 200 North)




All the dirt that is currently sitting on the Heritage Park property (former Clover Club property) is being stored there for use on future road projects. During the past summer, the Public Works Department completed a water project on south Main Street. Dirt from that project was the first to be stored on this site. Now, dirt from the former park and ride lot (on 400 West) is being stored here. The City decided that it would be more economical to store the dirt rather than pay to have dirt brought in next year for road projects. The plan at the present time is to use this dirt to fill in the road dip in Happy Hollow (on 500 East between 400 North and Oak Lane) so that the road does not drop as deeply as it does now into the hollow. This will improve the road structure and safety in that area. Hopefully, that project will be done next year, however, plans could change depending on the economic situation. The City is trying to think of ways to make the best use of your tax dollars and will save thousands of dollars if they do not have to purchase dirt for road projects.
