Dawson Park borders McIntosh Lake on the northwest side of Longmont. It was named in 1973, after John Dawson (1839-1917), and developed in 1981. Dawson joined the Chicago-Colorado Colony in 1871, and farmed east of Hygiene. The lake was called Dawson before taking the name McIntosh. With commanding views of the mountains, this 12.9 acre park offers shoreline fishing, tennis, and a restful walking trail system. Dawson Park now adjoins the McIntosh Lake District park which links it to Flanders Park and Boulder County's Lohr Open Space.
Art in Public Places has installed Dawson Silverwood, by Steve Jensen in 2003 within this park site.
The park has two shelters which may be reserved for $35.00 for resident and $44.00 for non residents. (link to shelter reservations) . Winterization of the park restrooms begins October 1. Reconstruction of the shelters and restroom began in August 2008.
