Hi Johnny - let's provide some more information because I'm sure others upgrading to El Capitan may also be befuddled by the absence of Dashboard using the 3-finger sweep to the right - Apple disabled this feature as a default setting on release of its newest OS X - but as you state, go to System Preferences, and then as shown in my screen capture below, set 'Dashboard' to 'As Space' (blue arrow) - more detailed discussion HERE for those interested.
