This would normally be an item we’d tell you to hold on til the glory days of summer, but with our freakishly beautiful (and surely a harbinger of doom) spring-like winter, you can probably use it this weekend! Today, Fort Greene Park became the latest Brooklyn public spot to get free wifi. That brings the total jacked-in parks in the borough to five including Herbert Von King Park, McCarren, Brooklyn Bridge Park and Prospect Park (by the Picnic House). See the full list of wifi-enabled parks, which now includes Central Park Zoo — so you can instagram your orangutans? — across the whole city below. Wondering how good the signal is? Check out this test drive in McCarren Park from Meredith Olson.
The wifi is a joing effort from the city and AT&T and so far covers:
· Herbert Von King Park
· McCarren Park Field House
· Pier 1 and Pier 6 at Brooklyn Bridge Park
· Prospect Park Picnic House
· Astoria Park
· Tompkins Square Park
· Marcus Garvey Park
· Clove Lakes Park
· Battery Bosque and Ferry Landing at Battery Park
· Thomas Jefferson Park
· Joyce Kilmer Park
· Mineral Springs, Tavern on the Green, Rumsey Playfield in Central Park
· Devoe Park
