COUNTY News:

In support of new tourism initiatives surrounding promotion of Los Alamos as the home of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park, Los Alamos County has installed free WiFi for the public to use at Ashley Pond Park and nearby Fuller Lodge, including the eastern Fuller Lodge Lawn, and the Library overflow lot (used Thursdays by Farmer’s Market). Residents and visitors can search WiFi options for “LA Discoveries” on any WiFi enabled device to access the service.

“As we begin to enhance the visitor experience with more digital technology or apps for our historic district, having free WiFi was given a high priority in our immediate goals to promote the new park,” said Linda Matteson, assistant to the County manager and project manager for the new Manhattan Project National Historical Park. “By using this public WiFi and the Los Alamos: Secret City of the Manhattan Project app, visitors should be able to take a virtual tour of this area in downtown Los Alamos that will allow them to step back in time and experience Los Alamos as it appeared during the days of the Manhattan Project.”
