About this mapped area City boundary · September 22, 2021
Parker Lane is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin Neighborhood Planning Areas boundary dataset. The saved source records its planning status as plan approved. These mapped categories differ from colloquial neighborhood names. Districts people name in conversation, like South Congress, Rainey Street or the Sixth Street entertainment district, are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area or straddle two. This boundary is a single polygon in the city's file, with ordinance 20061116-055 recorded in the source, and the city last modified it on . The dataset stores the name as PARKER LANE.
The local field guide
Parker Lane: Austin’s first public skate park
Mabel Davis District Park gives Parker Lane a distinctive recreation destination. The city identifies its skate park as Austin’s first, combining a bowl, street-style elements and space for people who prefer to watch.
1 linked sources · CheckedA place for spectators too
The same city guide identifies a grass seating area for onlookers. That makes the destination legible for a group with both skaters and people coming to watch.[1]
Use the Parker Lane address
Austin lists the skate park at 3427 Parker Lane within Mabel Davis District Park. It is a separate facility from the BMX skate park on Shoal Creek Boulevard.[1]
Plan a little better
Before you go
- Pick the correct city skate park
- Use Mabel Davis and the Parker Lane address for this destination. The city’s guide covers another facility across town, with different features.[1]
- Review the facility before choosing a session
- The city describes bowls and streetscape features rather than a flat walking surface. Use that layout information when deciding whether the facility fits your activity.[1]

What the public record says about Parker Lane
- City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,486 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Parker Lane planning-area boundary, the earliest dated June 8, 1979 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $441,674,824. Declared value is the figure an applicant puts on the permit application — not market value and not finished cost. Counted over every issue date in the city’s Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only. Placing a permit inside a boundary needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% of them, as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location at all — those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood, here or anywhere else, so this is a count of geocoded permits rather than of every permit issued. How busy it is now is a different question, and the list below is the honest answer to it: the 25 most recently issued permits here were all issued since March 23, 2026.
- The 1 most recent restaurant inspections we could place inside this boundary run from August 22, 2026 to August 22, 2026, averaging 72 out of 100. Austin Public Health publishes these in irregular batches, historically weeks after the visit, and this page lists at most 15 — so that count is the size of our list, not the number of restaurants in Parker Lane. A score is a single-visit snapshot.
- Of the 100 highest-grossing mixed-beverage filers the Texas Comptroller lists for ZIP 78741, 78744, 78704, 78702, 78701, 0 sit inside this boundary. The Comptroller has not published a filing month for these rows. Per-venue figures are gross receipts reported to the Comptroller, summed over each venue’s own filing months — never a total for Parker Lane. Filings are monthly and land three to four weeks late.

Bars & restaurants filing receipts
Texas Comptroller mixed-beverage filers we placed inside this boundary
We hold geocoded coordinates for none of the 100 filers in ZIP 78741, 78744, 78704, 78702, 78701 that would place them inside this boundary. Placement uses our address cache, so this is a gap in our data, not a claim that Parker Lane has no bars.
Parker Lane: questions people actually ask
Is Parker Lane an official Austin neighborhood?
Parker Lane is one of 65 named areas in the City of Austin neighborhood-planning boundary dataset. Its status in the saved source is plan approved. Inclusion in this file does not by itself mean a neighborhood plan was adopted. Well-known districts such as South Congress, Rainey Street and the Sixth Street entertainment district are not separate areas in this dataset; they sit inside a planning area, or straddle two. The Parker Lane boundary is a single polygon in the source file. The city last modified it on September 22, 2021.
Which ordinances are recorded for Parker Lane?
City of Austin ordinance number 20061116-055 is recorded against this planning area in the city's Neighborhood Planning Areas dataset, with planning status plan approved.
How much construction is happening in Parker Lane?
City of Austin Development Services has issued 2,486 building permits that it has geocoded inside the Parker Lane planning-area boundary, the earliest dated June 8, 1979 and the most recent September 29, 2026, for a combined declared construction value of $441,674,824. Declared value is the figure the applicant put on the permit application, not market value or finished cost. Counted from the city's Issued Construction Permits dataset (3syk-w9eu), building permits only, over every issue date in that dataset. The boundary test needs a mapped coordinate, and about one building permit in seven (13.8% as published on 2026-07-26) carries no location, so those rows cannot be placed in any neighbourhood and are not in this figure.
What ZIP codes cover Parker Lane?
No ZIP code centroid falls inside the Parker Lane boundary, so we search the 5 nearest instead: 78741, 78744, 78704, 78702, 78701. We match ZIP codes to planning areas by testing each ZIP's centroid against the boundary polygon, so a large ZIP can overlap an area without its centre landing inside it. Use the boundary, not the ZIP, as the authority.
