Free Wi-Fi Now Available in Two Oakley Parks
|
The Oakley Parks and Landscape Division has installed free public Wi-Fi capability in both the Creekside and Civic Center parks. Users will be able to gain Wi-Fi access when they use a wireless device within most areas of the two park locations.
"Wi-Fi in the parks will enhance the park experience by users," said Mayor Kevin Romick. The access to free Wi-Fi will allow patrons to be able to stay connected with their smartphones, tablets and other Wi-Fi enabled devices as they enjoy the serenity of the park, participate in activities, or watch their children play.

This project will install a new storm drain system and relocate fire hydrants to make room for the new streetscape improvement project coming later this fall.
