The location surrounds the area on the North from 85th Terrace to 89th Street on the South and on the West from State Line Road to Ward Parkway on the East.

Ward Parkway Center has been updated inside and out with evidence of more foot traffic despite expansion development and some empty storefronts.

Ward Parkway Center is set to develop the former Dillard's site — six years after the department store closed.

In 2016, plans were approved for a 31,000-square-foot, U-shaped addition with six restaurant tenants and a pedestrian plaza, all on south end of the center.

The tenants include Smitty's Garage, Torchy's Tacos, Charleston's Restaurant, Hawaiian Bros, and Hurts Donuts.
