 |  |  | NIKE Missile Site (SF-37) Newark Ca.
< on 10/7/2005 12:54 AM >
|  | | | Another day home and sick leads me out to Hike. Dont ask why i am hiking sick.. but I honestly feel better after every hike..
So my trip starts in Newark Ca. At a local Park which leads out to the old NIKE Missile Site. You can see the site in the distance, pictured in the image below.
It's about a good mile and a half march up a hill and around some trails..
This is the formal entrance of the site, blocked off and surrounded by Barb Wired Fences.. fun..This appears to be a old Guard Post.
I spent a good 20 miles hiking in around the site trying to find a way in without climbing the fence. I found a old drain pipe which was hanging out of the fence, just enough room for me to get. So I wiggled under the fence and waaaah laaaa I was in. Just as I get ready to take a pic, I see a van moving up the road and unlocking the fence. I had to ditch out and wait..
Finally I just said F' it and went up in the place, the gates where unlocked in the front now. I walked up to a SBC dude and asked if I could take some pics.. he was cool and had no worries..
These wonderful stairs... These lead to the top of the site.
Air shaft??? Drain?? Bunker??
Old Barracks
The entrance was sealed off.. I know something is under this place and I was unable to get in..
Missiles used to be here? or was it the entrance to the underground magazines?? I doonnoo.. but you are not opening that sucker up..
The sign

| | | | my experience of nike sites is huge metal bay doors (aprox 25 to 30 feet long and 10 to 15 feet across.) then two alternate openings one being a ladder and the other being steps. that yellow square thing is either the ladder part that went down or a vent shaft. but either way if you try to dig it up you'll have alot of work to do. but I could be wrong, maybe SF builds their sites completely different from how LA builds them.

| | | | those big metal doors lead down to the underground storage. check out www.undergroundozarks.com they got the doors to open and they rode the elevator up on an abandoned nike site in kansas city!

| | | | sadly, the nike sites in cali are not like that. the ons you are talking about have like three to five stories under ground while the ones here are one story deep.

| | | | I hope nobody minds me jumping in & replying to some of these old threads that haven't been responded to in years...
What you got to was the old SF-37C Integrated Fire Control site.
Though it would be kind of funny to imagine you digging & digging up there, the reality is that there wasn't really anything underground there.
You've got a series of cinderblock buildings, I think I recall all of which are secured & house the variety od microwave radio gear up there, then there's the old guard shack at the gate, and in the back of the facility is the old generator building.
Besides that, you'll see the numerous roundish concrete foundations that used to have the Radar antennas, and then there is a relatively unusual large concrete tube-like structure partially covered over with soil/ It's in one of your photos. I believe this was a bomb/fallout shelter.
The Nike system Radar controls & consoles where they'd track the Russkie bombers from, etc. were actually all portable trailers that'd usually sit on a rectangular concrete pad, approximately 20'x10'.
The actual missile launch site, that DID have the underground missile storage magazines, was down near the park offices, but everything was bulldozed into the magazines, then the area was re-graded. The park offices however are in the old Nike missile Administrative location (SF-37A).
And no, contrary to what someone else wrote, the underground Nike missile magazines weren't any deeper at any other site around the country. In most cases, land was excavated, the Nike missile magazines were built, and then soil was put back round them, making the top of the missile magazines level with the surrounding grade. Floor to ceiling inside a Nike magazine is about hmm...15 feet or so? But then that ceiling is about 3' thick.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. |

| | | | I'll chime in here, too. The ones that are really worth checking out are the Atlas missile silo sites, which literally do have a whole network of underground workings, I think up to four stories deep. I know there's one in Denver, but I've also heard there's one near Chico, CA, but that was just word of Mouth.

| | | | I just went to check out the chico site, and came close, but didnt find it. An area resident pointed me in the right direction, after we had given up, and told us it was now sealed up and the area residents would shoot us. Not sure if I believe him or not but thats my report.
