Webb Memorial State Park, State park with missile site remains in Weymouth, United States
The 36-acre peninsula extends into Hingham Bay, featuring one mile of gravel trails along the Back and Fore Rivers waterfront point.
The military installed Nike anti-aircraft missile launchers at this location in the 1950s, with control systems on Spinnaker Island across Hingham Bay.
Native Americans of the Massachusett tribe used this area as a seasonal camp due to its abundant wild fruit, fish, and shellfish resources.
The park provides facilities for fishing, picnicking, hiking, and kayaking, with a pavilion available for group rentals from May through October.
Three connected drumlins form the park's topography, making it the sole mainland section of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.
