Former site of Nike battery SF-37's administration area, and now the Coyote Hill Regional Park's visitor's center. Of the former battery buildings two barracks (in which the visitor center, offices, &c. are now housed), flagpole, and two sets of concrete steps remain. All other admin buildings had trenches dug behind them, were pushed into the trenches by bulldozers, and then covered up with dirt.

In the '70s, after the military left, the former Admin area was used by the Stanford Research Institute to study marine mammal bio-sonar. Dolphins and other marine mammals were kept in tanks in the former barracks and studied.
