New Complimentary WiFi Hotspot Brings Enhanced Connection to Sunman Community Park

Great Plains Communications is donating the free WiFi.

(St. Leon, Ind.) - Great Plains Communications (GPC) has announced they will donate free public WiFi for residents and visitors of Sunman Community Park to stay connected while enjoying the park’s amenities. 

Available daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., the WiFi access point adds a valuable resource to the park, making it easier for students to study, families to stay connected and community members to access online tools, all while spending time at one of Sunman’s most treasured public spaces.

“This is not solely about delivering internet access," stated Erick Taylor, President of the Sunman Community Park Board. "It is about offering our residents enhanced opportunities to learn, connect and prosper. We appreciate GPC's support and investment in our community.”

The new hotspot enhances the park’s role as a hub for local events from the farmers market to community gatherings and nonprofit activities. Now, visitors can stay connected while attending events, working remotely or simply spending time outdoors.

“Great Plains Communications is proud to partner with the Sunman Community Park Board to bring meaningful technology solutions to residents and visitors of Sunman as they enjoy the beautiful park,” said Laura Kocher, Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations at Great Plains Communications. “We believe in the power of connectivity to open doors, create opportunities and strengthen communities. This WiFi donation is just one way we’re investing in technology to make a positive impact where people live, work and gather.”

The donation reflects a shared commitment between GPC and  Sunman to increase accessibility and improve quality of life, one connection at a time.
