Site History and Findings of Fact
Between 1957 and 1962, the Air Force acquired 102.40 acres for the Amaden Air Force Station facility. Improvements to the site included radar towers, family housing, operation, training, and recreation facilities, chapel, infirmary, a maintenance shop, a motor repair shop, mess halls, dispensary, commissary, and dormitories.
Approximately 30 military and 50 to 100 civilian personnel manned the base.
In December 1980 the Sir Force declared the site excess, and the site property transferred to GSA in June 1982. GSA quitclaimed the 102.41 acres to Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) in April 1986, and the property is currently closed to the public.
