Ponds Park in Kaysville, Utah, is a scenic community space built around the Kaysville Ponds, which are part of the USU Botanical Center and jointly managed with Utah State University Extension. Originally constructed in the mid-1990s for stormwater control, the ponds have since been transformed into an urban fishery and nature retreat. The site includes four ponds—Blood’s Pond, Slough Pond, Barton’s Pond, and South Pond—with Slough Pond located next to the LEED-Platinum certified Wetland Discovery Point, a hub for educational programs and community gatherings.
Surrounding natural wetlands help filter stormwater before it flows into the Great Salt Lake, enhancing water quality and creating valuable habitat for birds and other wildlife. A 1.5-mile paved loop trail encircles the ponds, offering a peaceful setting for walking, jogging, and birdwatching. Fishing is permitted with a valid Utah fishing license, and the ponds are regularly stocked with rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
