Wag! Walkers know Hancock
Hancock is an Austin, Texas neighborhood located within a 10 minute commute, just north of the central business district. This is a walkable neighborhood with individual shops on the west side along Duval Street, and a large shopping plaza located on the northeast section of the community with a grocery store, shops, restaurants and other services that are accessible on foot for residents and their pets. A large chain pet store is located in the shopping plaza, and you and your dog can visit to pick up supplies or treats. Several dog-friendly eateries are located within walking distance including Pok E Jo's Smokehouse, The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, and Mary’s Cafe. You can take your canine companion to enjoy a meal on outdoor patios at these establishments. Austin has warm spring and fall temperatures, mild winters, and very hot summers. When walking your dog during summer months avoid the midday heat by venturing out earlier or later in the day, taking shorter hikes so as not to over stress yourself or your pet and pack lots of water for you and your furry friend.
What is the terrain like in Hancock?
Hancock is bordered by Interstate 35 on the east, 32nd Street on the south, 45th Street on the north, and Duval Street on the west. The freeway forms an impediment to foot traffic that should only be crossed where pedestrian ways exist on main thoroughfares running under the freeway. The Waller Creek runs thru the Hancock neighborhood and is associated with a small wooded ravine providing a waterway and natural area in the neighborhood. Use caution around the creek during flash flooding which can occur with thunderstorms. The creek can become dangerously swollen, and banks can become unstable. Most of the area is comprised of moderately sized, single-family, detached dwellings on well landscaped properties. Homes feature a variety of architecture which adds character to the community. There are also some apartment and condominium complexes in the region. The terrain has some gentle hills and slight inclines, but they are not steep, and most pets and people can traverse the area relatively easily. Many streets do not have separate sidewalks for pedestrians and pets which necessitates using the street with local traffic. Use caution, keep your dog securely leashed, and walk facing oncoming traffic.
How many greenways are there in Hancock?
The Hancock Recreation center and grounds are centrally located in the Hancock neighborhood and easily accessible on foot for residents and their pups. The recreation center is surrounded by a large recreational property with large lawns, some treed areas, and walking paths which make an ideal venue for a local stroll with your pet, that is conveniently located near area homes.
In the southeast section of Hancock just south of the large condominium complex is a well hidden, dog park. The Hancock Dog Park is a fenced off-leash dog park where your pup can play unrestrained. There is seating for owners to use while supervising their pets, which includes benches and a picnic table, shade trees and waste disposal facilities. There is a concrete area where the trash facilities are situated, and mulch and grass surfaces. The park is known for flooding during wet weather which can be hazardous, and creates very muddy conditions, so you may want to wait for the park to dry out after a heavy rainfall.
