City of Carson Milestone: Free Internet Access Now Available Throughout City Parks Paving the Way for a More Connected Future

 

CARSON —The City of Carson April 3, announced the launch of free public Wi-Fi service in all city parks, a major initiative to expand digital equity and access for its residents. This service is a key part of Carson’s commitment to building a connected community where everyone can access the internet for work, education, or leisure in public spaces.

The Wi-Fi in the City Parks Project is solely funded through the American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA, the federal stimulus bill to aid public health and economic recovery established in 2021.  The project was completed efficiently and under budget, with the total spend coming in at $286,373.60, a significant savings from the allocated budget of $420,272. 

Residents can now enjoy seamless internet connectivity in all neighborhood parks. The new Wi-Fi service will enhance residents’ quality of life by integrating technology with the great outdoors.
