About the Park
Wells Dog Park offers off-leash space in El Cajon, an inland city in eastern San Diego County. It is free to visit as a public park, with no admission fee. El Cajon's valley location makes for notably hot, dry summers, so early morning and evening are the most comfortable times to bring a dog, and water is a must on warm days. Our records do not confirm whether the park is fenced or what surface it has, so check the enclosure and footing before letting your dog run. Posted hours are not listed here; confirm them locally so you time your visit to when the gates are open.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Wells Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Wells Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
