A national broadband internet provider is planning to deliver free wifi in two city parks.

The Park Board on Wednesday, May 6, granted permission for Ripple Fiber to install equipment in Chew and Kennedy parks in the city’s South End that would create free public wifi in the parks.

The equipment will be placed inside existing storage space in the parks, and would be unobtrusive.

“We think we found some good suitable locations that aren’t going to inhibit anyone from using the park, and also aesthetically it’s going to be in a shed,” said Stephen Maher, representative of Ripple Fiber.
