Pioneer Park Cemetery

This park and cemetery are worth a visit located next to the convention center and only two blocks from the Omni Hotel. I was able to walk around and read the headstones from the 1800’s right in the middle of downtown. The cattle herd artwork was interesting to view.

So sad. I could not find the headstones I was looking for… all are knocked down and broken off except for the granite ton markers. Had been there years back and it was beautiful.

I love an old cemetery. Pioneer park cemetery was nice to walk around. It is pretty heavily shaded, it felt good to get out of the sun and walk around. It was a nice, peaceful area.

Really a great place to stop by and spend a few minutes if you like to relive the old West pioneer days in your mind. Wonderful, detailed sculptures of longhorns, horses and cowboys in a beautiful scene.

A great place to visit, the views were spectacular and there’s plenty of parking. Highly recommend for kids or adults.

This cemetery has a lot of Dallas history buried under the grass and some historic markers that explain who and what they did to some extent. Thankfully after years of public debate the city has removed the Confederate monument that has been standing here in front of the Dallas Convention Center.

1st time here, a historical park. Just heard on the news that the Confederate statues are going to be taken away due to being offensive. My personal opinion is that history is history. And it happened, good or bad, it is meant for people to see and teach them what happened at a point in time. I dont personally think these statues were made to offend anyone or they probably wouldnt have been made. Just an opinion. Have alot more picts will sort and upload later. Thanks for looking.

Interesting to walk around and read the headstones from the 1800s and then look up to see how the cemetery is surrounded by evidence of time continuing on.
