Funded through American Rescue Plan
The City of Carson has announced free public Wi-Fi service in all city parks, a major initiative to expand digital equity and access for residents. This service is a key part of the city’s commitment to building a connected and inclusive community where everyone can access the internet for work, education, or leisure in the beauty of our public spaces.
Mayor Lula Davis-Holmes expressed her enthusiasm about the project: “I am thrilled to announce that we are taking another step towards creating a more connected and inclusive community. By providing free Wi-Fi in our city parks, we are ensuring that everyone can stay connected, whether it’s to work, study, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Take a step into our parks, breathe in the fresh air, and stay connected to the pulse of our city,” she said.
The Wi-Fi in the City Parks Project is solely funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the federal stimulus bill to aid public health and economic recovery established in 2021. The project was completed under budget, with the total spend coming in at $286,373.60, representing a savings from the allocated budget of $420,272.
Residents can enjoy seamless internet connectivity in all neighborhood parks. The new Wi-Fi service represents the city’s dedication to enhancing residents’ quality of life by integrating technology with the great outdoors.
