In 1995, the Texas Trees Foundation dedicated Pioneer Plaza to the City of Dallas providing a focal point with historical significance for downtown Dallas. The Plaza commemorates Dallas' beginnings by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. The site features native plants and trees and a flowing stream in a natural setting and a re-creation of a cattle drive in bronze with longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses. Each piece of bronze art was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. It is located adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center at Young and Griffin between the historical Pioneer Cemetery and the Dallas Convention Center. Pioneer Plaza represents the largest public open space in the central business district.
Other features of Pioneer Plaza include a waterfall, man-made cliffs, native plant life and the small historic details on the sculptures.
Walked past this park whilst spending the day in Dallas. The sculptures are quite large and make a good photo opportunity as well as a place for little ones to run around.
I loved this place. My boys loved the video I took walking through the cows. I don’t know if there was more to this plaza than the statues and water features, but it’s worth the trip to walk through...
Stayed in hotel right by the Pioneer Plaza, wasn’ Sure what to expect but it was quite amazing, lots of the bronze statues and with incredible detail, took lots of pictures and even though by road...
