About

Trinity Heights is a very peaceful park with paved walking paths throughout the 16 acres that wind through stunning sculptures and beautiful monuments. The main attractions are the two Sacred Heart Statues, one of Mary (30 feet high) and one of Jesus (33 feet high). As these two reach to visitors and the skies, you'll be able to reflect, pray or just marvel at the magnitude and beauty of them.

There is a map of the park at the entrance which will guide you through the sections of the park from Saints to the Circle of Life and other beautiful monuments. Inside the visitor center that's open 10:00 am - 4:00 pm is a life-sized wooden carved Last Supper, it's super impressive!

Whether you're religious or not, the park is stunning and the views of Sioux City below are gorgeous. If you need to get your steps in for the day, especially in the morning or late evening, it's the absolute perfect spot to stroll and enjoy some peaceful nature. It's completely run by nonprofit donations, so although there is no admission for the outer park, there are donation boxes that you're able use to support them.
