** YOU WILL NEED AN INK PAD **
(I might be getting one soon but don't have the money right now.)
In the suburbs everything has a story. This series is a collection of my favorites.
4 Squares is a game virtually ever kid has played. It involves standing in 4 squares arranged into a larger square and bouncing a ball to other people.
As any kid can tell you, there are hundreds of rules and variations in this game ranging from cherry bombs, to train tracks, to spinzees, to popcorn and the inverses also. As Riverdale Park legend has it, all of these rules are written in stone and protected by the Gold and Silver Monkey. This monkey lives in the woods behind Riverdale Memorial Field in Northbridge, Massachusetts where he has presided over, and fought to protect, these rules since the invention of the game.
Very few people have ever actually seen the Gold and Silver Monkey, but at least once a summer a group of brave kids go searching through the woods for him.
DIRECTIONS...
From the Mass Pike, take Rt146 South to the Central Turnpike exit. Take a left at the end of the ramp and follow Central Turnpike all the way into Northbridge where it turns into Sutton Street. Continue on Sutton Street all the way through the blinking red light, over and down the big hill, and into downtown Rockdale. At the stop sign in Rockdale, take a right onto Providence Road, go straight for about 1/2 a mile untill you reach Riverdale Memorial Field on your right. The Field is set back from the road so look carefully.
When in the field find the 4 Square court wich almost appears to be a 6 square court. Go UP the path behind the net and and bear left. go over the moss, bear left again (do not take the trail that leads to the big rock)and a little ways down the path the letterbox is hidden between 2 pine sapplings.
*WARNING* I suggest not going to find this box weekdays during the summer from 8-4 as there is a summer Program that goes on in this park. This program is where i originally heard the story of the Gold and Silver Monkey.
