WiFi in the Parks

2006_02_19_skyline.jpg

Like that view up there? Sure you do. We bear good news about it.

Soon enough, if the Parks Department gets the bids it expects, you should be able to sit on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and enjoy the awesomeness of that view of the Gotham skyline while you read Gothamist on your laptop. Why? Because on top of the free WiFi that should be appearing in Central and Prospect Parks this spring the Parks Department has announced its intention to WiFi Fort Greene Park, Columbus Park near Cadman Plaza, Carroll Park, Cobble Hill Park and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

It's no citywide wireless, but it is a start...

Coming in 2007: city park laptop thefts supplant subway ipod thefts as the scare story of the year.

Great!

Now I can go to the park to enjoy my work, instead of... the park.
