This is a puzzle letterbox stamp. To see the whole image you must find all three boxes hidden near three of the bridges in the park. Only one of the boxes has a log book. Make sure you cover all boxes better than when you found them so that boxes may not be seen.

Letterbox (1)
Park in the lot right in front of the pond. Walk past to the play ground and there will be a path that follows the edge of the pond and to a bridge. Cross over the bridge and the path will split into a T. You will be taking the path to the right, but first look directly in front of you. You will see a five trees growing from one spot. From these trees find 240 degrees on your compass and take 26 steps. Nearby you will see a medium and large tree growing close together. Under the pile of rocks is what you seek.

Letterbox (2)
Return to the trail and follow the one the follows the around the very swampy half of the pond. The main path border by logs and sticks. you may see some paths going off to the left but stay on the clearest path. Keeping the pond in somewhat in view on your right. You will eventually come upon a foot bridge cross over it and you will soon come to a second that is tilted a bit. Cross over this one as well and after a few feet you will see a trail branching off to the left. Follow the trail to a large smooth grey tree (there is another tree close behind it). From the tree point your compass 70 degrees and take 13 steps to another tree. You will find the box among the roots.

Letterbox (3)
Return to main trail. Continue to follow the trial after a while it will come to a T take the trail to the right and soon you will come upon another bridge with a railing on one side. From the bridge retrace your steps to the tree that is in the tree in the middle of the trail. From the this tree find 150 degrees and take 6 steps to a tree near the river. Near the tree there is a medium rock and a smaller rock. Under the smaller rock is what you seek.

Continue to follow the trail over the bridge this will lead you back to the playground.
