This undated postcard, "Scene in Union Park, Dubuque, Iowa" has a great view of one of the original Miner's Huts. It was located to the right, just past the Bowling Alley, as you walked down The Promenade towards the Children's Playground. Remnants of the stairs still exist; however, the railing was removed long ago. Also, there are many more trees on the hillside currently. It's actually quite steep.

Visiting Union Park
The land that once was known as Union Park now belongs to the Dubuque YMCA. It still hosts hundreds of children each summer as the YMCA Union Park Day Camp. It is private property. No trespassing is allowed.
While I have hiked the grounds many times, I have always requested and received permission first. If you are ever in the Dubuqueland area and wish to see the hollow for yourself, stop by the Dubuque Y building. Talk to the people at the Reception Desk and get permission before entering the campgrounds. You can also contact them for more information, just click here.
