Free public Wi-Fi in Boulder expanding to two outdoor recreation areas
BOULDER — Free public Wi-Fi is being expanded to Boulder Reservoir and Scott Carpenter Park, starting on May 27.
The expansion is part of a city effort called Connect Boulder, which aims to make
free Wi-Fi available in public gathering spots and to explore ways to enhance broadband service to homes and businesses.
The availability of free public Wi-Fi started in November 2014, when Boulder voters approved a ballot measure that excludes the city from state limitations on broadband services.
“Our research into how Boulder can best enhance broadband services to homes and businesses is continuing,” Chief Information Officer Don Ingle said in a prepared statement. “In the meantime, we are excited to be able to bring free public Wi-Fi to users to more places where the community spends its time. The start of summer seemed like a perfect opportunity to unroll this service at the Reservoir and Scott Carpenter Park.”
Wi-Fi in the Boulder Civic Area, which started offering free Wi-Fi in April 2015 and includes the area between the Boulder public libraries and the municipal building.
