Pioneer Park

Pioneer Park

Cross Griffin Street and Young Street to get to the right side of Young.

Pioneer Plaza covers slightly more than four acres. This landscaped park has an enormous bronze sculpture of forty larger-than-life longhorns on a cattle drive. Several cowboys chase strays along the Shawnee Trail. Robert Summers created the sculpture.

Pioneer Cemetery lies at the other end of the park. Several prominent men and women from the early history of Dallas are buried here.
