What can you buy with $600,000? Apparently, WiFi for a whole lot of public parks in San Francisco. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, city officials will use a $600,000 gift from Google to add free internet to 31 public parks for at least two years.

The project must get approval from the city’s Planning Department as well as the Recreation and Parks Commission, but installation is anticipated to take place between November of this year and April 2014.
