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.

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.
