Pioneer Plaza

Pioneer Plaza is a large public park located in the Convention Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA).

The land on which the plaza sits, once railroad and warehouse property, was cleared for the 900-foot (270 m)-tall hotel and office Dallas Tower which was part of the failed Griffin Square development.

[3] The 49 bronze steers and 3 trail riders sculptures were created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas.

Each steer is larger-than-life at six feet high; all together the sculpture is the largest bronze monument of its kind in the world.

[2] Set along an artificial ridge and past a man-made limestone cliff, native landscaping with a flowing stream and waterfall help create the dramatic effect.

Historic brands from Texas ranches are depicted in the sidewalk on the west side, this one from the 6666 Ranch .
