Where Tails Wag and Friendships Begin: Exploring Dog Parks in the San Diego Country Estates

Cheryl Schlauch • July 16, 2025

Leash up, show up, and let the good times roll—because at our dog parks, every visit is a paw-sitive experience! 

Looking for the perfect place to let your dog run, romp, and make new friends? The San Diego Country Estates offers not just one, but two well-loved dog parks where local pups—and their people—can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and a sense of community.


You’ll find Ramona Oaks Dog Park nestled inside Ramona Oaks Park near Pappas and Avenel, and Bassett Way Dog Park conveniently located off Gunn Stage and Arena. Both parks are thoughtfully designed, featuring separate play areas—one for small dogs and one for large dogs, ensuring everyone can play safely and comfortably.


Shady trees provide cool spots to relax, picnic tables and benches invite you to stay a while, and there are water bowls ready for thirsty pups. Clean-up stations are stocked with waste bags to help keep the parks clean for all visitors.


Whether you’re new to the area or a longtime resident, visiting these parks is an excellent way for your four-legged friend to burn off energy, improve social skills, and maybe even meet their next best furry friend. It’s also a chance for neighbors to connect, swap dog stories, and enjoy the simple joy of being outdoors with our pets.


So leash up, head out, and see why our local dog parks are where tails wag and community connections grow. It’s just one more reason life in the Estates is something to bark about!
