After you check out the Mustangs at Williams Square, younger children will enjoy playing at Victoria Park, Northgate and Pleasant Run, in Irving. Victoria Park has excellent wood play facilities, a duck pond, and room to roam. It is also a good luncheon picnic spot. Shade is sparse. Restrooms and water fountains are available at this Irving park.

There are several good restaurants near Williams Square. Frijoles, at O'Connor and State Highway 114, serves Mexican food. Texas Bar and Grill, at 220 East Las Colinas Blvd., serves a mixed grill and is located on the canal. Both restaurants offer an informal setting, moderately-priced food, and outdoor seating when weather is suitable. Mustang Cafe, actually located at Williams Square, is more formal and more expensive.

Strolling the canal is also an interesting way to end the day at Las Colinas. Descend the rock steps by Texas Bar and Grill on East Last Colinas Blvd to enter the canal area.
