Dog Walkers in Whitewing Lane

When walking with your dog in Whitewing Lane, make sure you and your dog do not succumb to heat-related illnesses on hot summer days. Do not overexert yourselves in hot weather, pack plenty of water, and choose cooler times of the day for a hike.

Whitewing Lane has mostly single-family homes of various sizes and styles on heavily landscaped lots. There are ranch-style homes, bungalows, stone cottages, and large houses with extensive properties. Large trees densely populate the region and provide shade in the area.

Streets in the Whiting Lane area do not have separate sidewalks for you and your dog to walk on, so you will need to share local roads with traffic. Always walk on the right side facing traffic and ensure your dog is under control and securely leashed. There are some gentle hills in the region, but no steep slopes.

The local greenway along the power corridor and creek are available for neighborhood walks with your dog. Be aware that the area is subject to flash flooding and the creek can become dangerously swollen. This area should be avoided during wet weather.  

Phil Hardberger Park is located a short 10-minute drive to the northeast. This large park has plenty of trails for hiking as well as recreational facilities and the Salado Creek on its north side with a lookout. Best of all, there are two separate dog parks. The small dog park has obstacles for your pooch to climb on and there is a water fountain for dogs to play in and drink from. There is plenty of shade and they are gated and enclosed, so you don't have to worry about your off-leash pet going on a solo adventure. You should supervise your pet in the park and be prepared to clean up after your furry friend as well.
