Daley Ranch is located on the northern border of the City of Escondido. The ranch was settled by Robert Daley in 1869. The current ranch house was built in 1928, primarily as a place for the Daley family to get away from their Jamul residence. The land was destined to become one of the largest housing tracts ever developed, when the City of Escondido purchased the land from the Shay Homes company in 1996. The land was opened as park in April 1997.

The park is under control of the park rangers from Dixon Lake. They have yet to have their staff increased to patrol this park, so it is under patrolled. A groundskeeper lives at the ranch house, so there should be someone in the park for assistance. For information about the park call (760) 741-4680.
