The Dragonfly letterbox is in the beautiful Walk Up Park in Westborough, Massachusetts.

Finding the letterbox will take about 15 minutes. The walk is up hill a good deal of the way but not a difficult one.

Directions to Walk-up and Robinson Memorial Reservation.

Route 495 to Route 9 West to the 1st exit (Research Dr./Computer Dr.) Left off the exit ramp, left across Rte. 9 on to Flanders. Follow Flanders Road south for 1/2 mile to Friberg Parkway on the left at the Westborough Business Park Sign. It looks like you are entering an industrial park. The entrance to the reservation is a gravel drive marked by a Sudbury Valley Trustee (SVT) sign on the right side.

The reservation is open dawn 'til dusk, year-round.

Park in the parking lot and proceed to the park map. Take a look at the map as the park has many interesting walks.

From the map you will see some stone steps. Go down the steps and proceed ahead along the trail. Very quickly on the right you will see another trail. This one is marked with a red trail marker and a small sign that says "Front Loop". Turn on to this trail and you will see a blue trail marker and a sign "Nature Trail". Take this trail and follow it as it goes up the hill. You'll pass a huge fallen tree (very cool). After a short walk you will reach the crest of the hill and start down the other side. As soon as you start down look for two trees on your right each of which has a blue marker and a trail sign. There are no trees between them. Go between the trees and follow the trail for about 25 paces. Watch on your right for a large rock outcropping that wasn't visible from the other trail. Walk along in front of the rock outcropping. About two thirds of the way down you will notice three trees growing close together and close to the rock. By the largest tree and leaning against the rock is a slab of rock about 2 feet across. Behind this slab is the Dragonfly letterbox.

Please use our stamp pad and leave an impression of yours and a note if you feel like it. After you're through please make sure the box is tightly closed, the contents are safe within the plastic bag and that the box is well hidden in its original place.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed the walk!!
