Guardian Park: A History 1970-2003. Sandy Hook, Gateway National Recreation Area, National Park Service
Guardian Park, located on Sandy Hook, New Jersey at the entrance to Fort Hancock, was the last monument added to Fort Hancock by the U.S. Army. It is named for the Nike Air Defense Missiles, which were the last 'guardians' of the New York Metropolitan Area. The effort of this report is to reconstruct the history of the two main building periods of Guardian Park as well as document its current state, allowing for recommendations for the restoration of the park. A previous study by Sandy Hook Unit Park Rangers Thomas Hoffman and Michael Thomas of the southern portion of Fort Hancock, as well as photographs and textural documentation from the Gateway National Recreation Area Museum Collection and the Monmouth County Historical Association, were the main sources used to create this report.
