Historians tell us that today’s eleven-acre Wilderness Park (a former Nike Missile site) was once the site of a lookout spot for the Chowigna, a band of Tongva natives known for their land amid many of today’s South Bay areas, including the Palos Verdes Peninsula andthe bluffs above its Malaga Cove, where halibut, lobster, and sea bass, and salt helped sustain them for millennia.
