A Drone Landing Pad (DLP) allows landing a drone or delivering a parcel and includes an interior platform which lowers into the DLP or a cushioned interior platform, and an upper platform above the interior platform which opens to receive parcels and closes to protect parcels. The DLP may include two way communication with drones to provide a DLP position and receive drone position and ETA. The DLP position may be programmed into a DLP processor, or may be a GPS position when the DLP is movable to different locations. An optical landing aid may be provided to guide the drone to the DLP in a safe and reliable manner and confirm the DLP, for example an optical landing aid affixed or painted on the DLP. The DLP may be equipped with solar paneling for self-sustaining continuous charge or include battery backup and direct power options to ensure safe delivery.
