Braille Sign at the Greenway, Mary S. Topolsky Garden

On September 5, the Braille map was presented to Dan Frye, Director of NJ Commission for the Blind. The Commission funded this project. Mr. Frey will help choose a spot for the map's location to be approachable by visitors.

The 3D map was funded by NJCBVI. It provides visitors who are blind with an opportunity to get a feel of the curving course of the Hackensack River through Teaneck and the locations of the Greenway’s trail loops.

The vision for Mary's Garden & Trail was always to make this section of the Greenway welcoming to visitors with disabilities. It is the only ADA section on the Greenway and was constructed in compliance with ADA standards for wheelchair use.

The Mary S. Topolsky Garden & Trails is part of the Hackensack River Greenway, which is a continuous footpath and park which extends from Brett Park to Terhune Park along River Road, The Greenway incorporates historic areas and nature observation points.
