Crystal Cove Park, nestled in a South Sioux residential area, is a cute park well worth a visit!

What is Crystal Cove Park?

Crystal Cove Park is one of South Sioux City's premier parks, consisting of a 33-acre lake inside a 100-acre park! The park is free and open to the public. The park is home to more than 200 species of birds and other wildlife.

Where is Crystal Cove Park?

Crystal Cove Park doesn't actually have a specific street address, but for GPS etc. purposes, it's closest to W 39th & Timberline Drive in South Sioux City, Nebraska.


There is lots of free parking in the parking lot at Crystal Cove Park.

Trails and amenities at Crystal Cove Park

Crystal Cove Park has about 1.5 miles of trails, looping around the lake, but that's far from the only thing to do at Crystal Cove! Some other features visitiors love at Crystal Cove include:


  • Disc Golf course: my family has played the first 9 holes, but it got too buggy for us, so we bailed before the second nine. Bring bug spray if you want to stay a while! The South Sioux City Parks & Rec Department has a Crystal Cove Disc Golf Course map on their website.
  • Picnic shelters: There are several, including a unique one right by the lake
  • Play structure: Perfect for kids to climb on!

Crystal Cove Lake

The 33-acre lake at Crystal Cove is small but scenic and is a great place for fishing or boating. There is a fishing dock (which was being used as the launch point for some really cool remote-control seaplanes the last time I visited Crystal Cove!) as well as a boat launch. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and other paddling fun are popular at Crystal Cove. And the lake is stocked three times a year, so you're sure to have something good to catch, including largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, and pike.

Be sure to follow all Nebraska state regulations on fishing permits etc!

Little Chicago Deli is coming back to Sioux City!

Sioux City's newest eatery isn't actually new--it's just the newest iteration of a classic! Little Chicago Deli is opening in a new location just a couple doors down from the original restaurant, and they're opening on Friday May 31, 2024, for pickup orders and delivery, with the dining lobby opening later in summer 2024. Here's the info we have so far on Sioux City's new Little Chicago Deli: History of Little Chicago Deli Little Chicago Deli has been around Sioux City since 1988 as a locally owned sandwich shop, but unfortunately the previous location closed in 2017. Prior to that, I remember going there in college while I was doing an internship downtown, and I was sad to hear the original closed. But new owners, including some staff from the old Little Chicago Deli, are bringing it back in 2024! The name pays homage to local legends about Sioux City during Prohibition. For starters, Prohibition was widely ignored in Sioux City
