Creating and 3D printing tactile maps is a way I can directly help people navigate with more confidence. We chose Guadalupe River Park because there are so many fun activities going on in the area, and it felt like the perfect place to launch our first map." - Rohan Upadrasta, Founder | Tacile maps are now available to be checked-out at the Visitor Center (438 Coleman Ave, San Jose). | | | | | Rotary PlayGarden 10th Anniversary Celebration | Saturday, Sept 13 - 10:00am-2:00pm | You're invited to join us in celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Rotary PlayGarden, a place where children of all abilities have come together to laugh, learn, and play since 2015!
