AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots have landed at Astoria Park in Queens, Herbert Von King Park and McCarren Park Field House in Brooklyn, Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan and Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island.
The continued rollout is part of a five-year digital initiative to bring free Wi-Fi to 26 park locations spanning the five boroughs.
Battery Park, Rumsey Playfield, areas of Thomas Jefferson Park in East Harlem and Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx all went live with free Wi-Fi over the summer. Additional parks are slated to get the free AT&T hotspots, but the timing remains uncertain. You can expect to see new parks come online in the next several months, AT&T says.
What with Wi-Fi now in parks, rolling out to subways, available in car services and accessible in Times Square, New York is becoming an increasingly wired, mobile metropolis.
