Encyclopedia
Dedisse Park is a Denver Mountain Park
located in Jefferson County, Colorado
, USA. It was originally the scenic mountain ranch of 1860s pioneer Julius C. Dedisse; this 420 acres (1.7 km²) of land was purchased by the City & County of Denver in 1919. In 1927-28 Denver constructed the 35 feet (10.7 m) high Evergreen Dam as a flood control measure on the notoriously flood-prone Bear Creek, creating the 55 acres (222,577.3 m²) Evergreen Lake which became an instant hit with recreationists in summer and winter. Colorado's first mountain golf course, the Evergreen Golf Course, was constructed here in 1925, which features the rustic lodge Keys on the Green restaurant said to be designed by Jacques Benedict. Today Dedisse Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
