Indianapolis wants residents to stay connected with Indy Parks.

The Indianapolis public parks system is bringing high-speed public wi-fi to park facilities across the city.

Installations have already been completed at 19 public parks facilities, and another 10 are planned to be completed by the end of the summer, the city announced Wednesday.

Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett presents Monday, Jan. 15, 2024, a city proclamation to Diana Strader in honor of her late husband, Stanley Strader, during a press conference highlighting recent renovations from Citizens Energy Group’s Sharing The Dream service project and the park’s name change that was made in 2023. Strader was a leader and advocate for the south side of Indianapolis and served 12 years on the City-County Council. "So now, therefore, I, Indy Mayor Joe, do hereby proudly proclaim January 15, 2024, as not just the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day, but it's also Stanley Strader Park Day in the city," he said.

The initiative, a collaboration with the Information Services Agency, is funded with $500,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act.

About 98% of Indy Parks facilities will have public wi-fi after the completion of the project, providing students with spaces that better support learning and facilitate more community meetings and events, the city said.
