Dillard's pulled out of WARD PARKWAY CENTER in late 2009. The building was bulldozed in 2011. Ground was broken in 2016 for an outdoor Dining Pavilion. The facility was officially dedicated in October 2017. It housed restaurants such as Smitty's Garage Burgers & Beer, Charleston's, Ted's Cafe Escondido and MidiCi The Neopolitan Pizza.
