“We expect Central Park to be launched in July, and the rest of the parks in the late summer,” the Department of Parks and Recreation said. Among those green spaces going on-line for public Wi-Fi access will be Washington Square, Union Square, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and Flushing Meadows.

Beginning in 2003 the city sought service providers to furnish Wi-Fi service for the parks, but delays set in and only one park — Battery Park at Manhattan’s tip facing the Statue of Liberty — finally got the service.

A handful of small parks in the city have had free Wi-Fi access since 2002 thanks to private donors.
