We need one of these in Minneapolis (see below).
Also, has the park board, schools, and libraries ever thought about
how they might apply their mission online in terms of creating a local
interactive destination? Meaning, why not build a well maintained online
"park" for local kids that could also be used to attract and re-connect
kids to the physical parks.

P.S. Is Mpls still without a single 802.11b coffee shop?

wireless computing available anytime the park is open
Bryant Park now is a WiFi "Hot Spot", bringing the internet FREE
to users of laptops and handheld devices with 802.11b Ethernet cards.
NYC Wireless, a volunteer community group of computer wizards,
provided the expertise to make Bryant Park the first park in the world

Go wireless and do work while enjoying the park.
How-to guides to get started are available at the park entrances.
