This area is going to become part of the long awaited I-95/PA Turnpike connector ramps and roadways. (Now the homeless just have to be relocated.) ] - IFC - from the NikeSiteSearchers (12/04) [{Gale, M} [2004] I would like to see you change control from O to P as I personally saw 3 intact radar towers. Some foundations of buildings remain but no other structures. Perimeter fence remains also.

C - 2 NNW NAS Willow Grove, N side Folly Rd ((P) Warrington Township; Igoe-Porter-Wellings Memorial Park, Twin Oaks Summer Camp - IFC - from the NikeSiteSearchers (12/04) Park [{Buffington, J} ... township, has done a great job of developing the fire control area into a memorial park, dedicated to the memory of three enlisted men from there who were killed in Vietnam. The launch area has playground equipment (active and passive recreation areas). ... I called the parks and recreation department director at Warrington and told her that they did a great job of developing the area ... but that one thing was missing: a marker making note of the fact that over a period of several years, several thousand young men spent two or three years out of their lives in defense of the area at the peak of the cold war. I pointed out that the kids who used the facilities daily don't have a clue about what went on there some forty years ago. For that matter, the youngsters think Nike means shoes, shirts, caps and shorts.
The township government picked up on the idea immediately, and one supervisor has
advised me he is talking to the local historic commission about the marker. I am
researching the history of the unit, Btry B, 3d Missile Battalion (Nike-Hercules)
60th Artillery in order to write a brief history for them. ]
