Pacific Plaza

Pioneer Plaza, dedicated in 1994 by the Texas Trees Foundation, serves as a historical focal point for downtown Dallas, commemorating the trails that brought early settlers to the region. Featuring native plants, a flowing stream, and a striking bronze re-creation of a cattle drive with longhorn steers and cowboys, it highlights both the city's rich heritage and its commitment to green space. Situated adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center, Pioneer Plaza is the largest public open space in the central business district and the second most visited landmark in downtown Dallas. Developed on a former parking lot, the Plaza continues to evolve, with plans to expand its artistic herd of bronze sculptures while maintaining its serene natural setting. Generated from the website
