Boro's First Free WiFi Park

Now you can jump online and enjoy a pleasant breeze together at Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO – provided you own a laptop, that is. Although it has been in testing since late May, the park’s wireless access was formally unveiled this week.
Two Trees Management covered the costs of installation, and the Dumbo Improvement District, a BID, will handle the costs of administration. NYC Wireless, a wireless advocacy non-profit, installed the system. By the end of the summer, Prospect Park is scheduled to have wireless access as well.
