Per the nearby sign:
"Rex the Dinosaur is a gift from Hollywood and Walt Disney Studios. He is essentially a theatrical property or "prop" created by camera crews and producers aware of the appeal at the time of the PBS children's show, "Barney & Friends". A portion of the 1993 movie, "Father Hood", starring Patrick Swayze, was filmed here at Cascade Caverns Park and Rex was constructed during the filming (the original Jurassic Park was released the same year). Rex is styrofoam and plaster and took three weeks to create. After filming was completed, the producers donated Rex to the park. Years of weathering took its toll on the dinosaur, so he was restored back to prime condition in 2009. Although Rex had a minor role in "Father Hood", he still remains a silent, yet fascinating token of the colorful history of Cascade Caverns Park."
