According to a piece in the Epoch Times (Free Wi-Fi to be Available in City Parks, August 11, 2011), New York City has renewed its contract with Warner Cable and Cablevision Systems with a portion of that service to provide free Wi-Fi in 32 parks. Borough Presidents have not decided which parks will be the lucky recipients, but they may include parks that already have free Wi-Fi . With that said, the goal is to provide free
Wi-Fi to parks in underserved areas that do not have other Wi-Fi options. Subscribers to these two cable companies will have completely free service while non-subscribers will receive 30 minutes free per month with a nominal fee in 24 hour increments.
I sent an email to find out if the parks have been decided yet. I'll keep you updated. In the meantime, I wish you a happy, healthy and productive 2012.
Happy New Year!

Time to Hibernate
Winter is heading to my area and with it comes the icy
weather. During this time of unpredictable weather and the craziness of the
holidays, I am concentrating on my research rather than hoofing it through the
city looking at parks. I plan on getting back to confirming park locations in
early March or when the winter weather lends itself to photography. Until then,
I really want your help.
What’s your favorite and why? Is it just because it is near
your office and easy to get to when you want to grab a coffee or get away from
your cubemates? Do you live near a pocket park that you frequent? What do you
like about it? Send me locations and any other information you know about your
favorites as well as why you like it. You may be included in my book.
While you ponder these questions, enjoy this photo from @NYCphotos.
