Beginning in June, visitors to four of Haysville’s most popular parks will have free Wi-Fi access, courtesy of the City of Haysville. Riggs Park, Dewey Gunzelman Memorial Swimming Pool, W.W. Hays Village Historic Park and PlagensCarpenter Sports Complex will all be connected to the City’s wireless network. Plans to offer Wi-Fi in Haysville’s other parks are also underway.
Based on citizen response, The City of Haysville is focusing resources on the improvement of its parks and recreation facilities. “Citizens have made it clear that quality of life matters” said Mayor Bruce Armstrong. “We’ve received very supportive feedback about the recent upgrades to our parks, our plans for extending the Hike & Bike Path and the plan to relocate the Activity Center to the center of town. Offering Wi-Fi in our parks just seemed like the next logical amenity to offer to improve on what we’ve done so far.”
Patrons can access the City’s free network on their phone, laptop or tablet by opening a web browser, such as Chrome or Internet Explorer, agreeing to the terms and conditions, and clicking accept. The wireless service is available every day from 5:00 a.m. to Midnight.
