Galleta Meadows is a roadside attraction along the Southern California S-3 highway, crafted by artist and welder Ricardo Breceda, known as the welder of Perris, California's "Jurassic Park" exhibit. More than 130 metal sculptures are showcased along the highway within the city of Borrego Springs, commissioned by the former owner of the Galleta Meadows Estates. Sculptures include giant elephants, raptors, dinosaurs, mammoths, and saber-toothed tigers, which are positioned at sites along Borrego Springs and Henderson Canyon Roads. Printed maps of the sculpture area are offered at the Borrego Springs Library, the Anza-Borrego Desert Natural History Association, and the Anza-Borrego Foundation.
