Pioneer Plaza, Public park in Convention Center District, Dallas, United States.
Pioneer Plaza is a public park situated between Griffin and Young Streets in downtown Dallas spanning several acres. The space features native plantings, mature trees, flowing water features, and a collection of bronze sculptures depicting cattle and riders.
The park was established in 1994 on former railroad land to honor the cattle drives that once followed the Shawnee Trail through this area. This project was a collaborative effort to preserve and celebrate the region's ranching heritage.
The bronze sculptures depict cattle and herders that reflect Texas ranching tradition and the role of cattle drives in shaping the region. These artworks are woven into downtown life today, inviting visitors to connect with the area's heritage.
The park is located next to the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center and remains easily accessible from downtown Dallas. Multiple parking options are available in the surrounding area, making it convenient to visit or pass through.
Artist Robert Summers created all 52 bronze figures at this location, which together form one of the world's most extensive collections of large-scale cattle sculptures in a single place. Each longhorn stands at a commanding size, creating an immersive visual experience as visitors walk among them.
