Lakes Regional Park is going high tech. Park officials have announced the first wireless internet service in the Lee County park system. The service will be available around the south parking lot near the beach area. Senior program specialists with the parks, Tracy Arkin says her bosses thought wireless service might be a good idea to have.

“Our Director and deputy director thought that that would be a great idea that we could give to our patrons and participants in our parks if we kind of started implementing a wi-fi system.”

Arkin adds that her office is now getting the word out through banners, flyers and the parks brochures. She also says if this system is a success there is a good chance other parks in the county could also have wireless internet service in the future.
