Layton Commons Park is a very beautiful place. It features a creek with ducks and sometimes swans, a playground, picnic tables under a pavilion, a stage for concerts, and a replica Vietnam memorial wall. The city keeps up the effort and energy year-round with events like sidewalk fairs in summer.
Every winter, the park hosts an incredible and awesome holiday light display. It is a free drive-through or walk-through event with an eclectic menagerie of illuminated fauna, including whales, bears, moose, and dinosaurs. The display is amazing and seems to grow each year. Walking through is definitely a must and a neat experience. Some displays have interactive sound buttons for little ones. The place is big enough that it does not feel crowded, even when busy. For a small fee, there is also a little train ride. This event is a wonderful and cool experience that many families make a yearly tradition, providing great Christmas cheer.
This was the most scenic rest stop in 3,000 miles not the cleanest restroom though. I pulled to the right side of the exit and awoke to a fantastic veiw. Best not to park in front of the restroom

Great place to have lunch in the shade! Looked clean, had a playground and was overall a very nice park

The park is extremely clean, and fun for kids. When we were all done playing we explored and discovered the many many ducks from the duck pond 😍
