Dawson Park borders McIntosh Lake on the northwest side of Longmont. 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. Eventually, Dawson Park will adjoin a district park which will link it to Flanders Park and Boulder County's Lohr Open Space.
