You and your dog can enjoy walking in Parker Lane with no frigid temperatures to contend with throughout the year. Winters are mild and temperatures are well above freezing most of the time with only rare snow, freezing rain, or cold snaps. When cold and precipitation occur together, walkways can be icy, so be careful, wait until icy surfaces thaw, or wear footwear with good traction. Austin summers are hot and dry with high temperatures and walking during the height of the day should be avoided to prevent overheating.
What is the terrain like in Parker Lane?

The residential areas are more pleasant for a stroll with your pup. Residential condominiums and apartment complexes are common in the area and there are some single-family homes with well-landscaped properties situated in Parker Lane. Some residential areas do not have sideways which means you and your dog will have to share residential streets with local traffic. Walk facing oncoming traffic and be vigilant for vehicles.
A large park and greenbelt provide natural terrain and wooded areas that make safer walking spots for dog walkers and their pets. There are some gentle inclines in the neighborhood, but they are not steep and do not hamper pedestrian travel.
