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.
Located downtown just a few blocks east of Union Station and easy walking distance from the Sixth Floor Museum. One of, if not the largest group of bronze sculptures in the U.S. From reading other...
I absolutely loved this piece of art in Downtown Dallas. It is spectacular, the statues are carved in great details. It winds down from a hill to a ravine. BEAUTIFUL.
Pioneer plaza is an interesting setting in downtown Dallas. It has sculptures and a graveyard with some very old graves. It is quaint and fun to walk around in if you are exploring downtown Dallas...
