Free wireless Internet service is disappearing from some of the city’s biggest parks, after the contractor that installed and managed the system ran out of money.
Wi-Fi Salon is removing equipment from seven locations in Central Park and two spots in Prospect Park, as well as smaller parks in Manhattan, Queens and the Bronx.
Wi-Fi Salon’s founder told the New York Times he was unable to find corporate sponsorship.
The Parks Department says it plans to find new ways to get the parks reconnected.
Free Wi-Fi is still available from other providers at several other parks, including Union Square, Bryant Park and Madison Square Park.
