The White Point Nike Site was a large concrete bunker built in the early 1950's as one of many sites ringing the Los Angeles basin and manned by National Guard units. Originally equipped for the Nike-Ajax missile, it was later upgraded with a Nike-Hercules missile capable of being armed with a nuclear warhead. The site and the surrounding land were deactivated by the United States military about 1974 and transferred to the city and county of Los Angeles in 1978 for recreational purposes.
