Golden Gate Recreation Area

http://www.nps.gov/goga/

This park is one of my favorites, for some reason we don’t get up there very often, we drive by it frequently, but don’t seem to venture in much. The park contains huge number of historical sites, including a Nike Missile Site, Fort Mason, Fort Point and a number of other historic sites going back over two hundred years.

The Nike missile site has been restored to “Operational Condition” (I assume no fuel or warheads) and is open for tours the first Sunday of every month (from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM), as well as during the week. For more info go to: http://www.nikemissile.net/
