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 {{convert|420|acre|km2}} of land was awarded to the city of Denver in 1919 through a condemnation suit against the Dedisse family who received $25,000 in compensation for it. In 1927–1928, Denver constructed the {{convert|35|ft|m|adj=on}} high Evergreen dam as a flood control measure on the notoriously flood-prone Bear Creek
