Campbell County and altafiber Partner to Provide High-Speed Wi-Fi Connectivity at Pendery Park, AJ Jolly Park, and AJ Jolly Golf Course

CAMPBELL COUNTY, Kentucky – The Campbell County Fiscal Court and altafiber are pleased to announce that high-speed, free public Wi-Fi is now available at Pendery Park, AJ Jolly Park, and AJ Jolly Golf Course.

Pendery Park serves as a premier community hub with expertly manicured sports fields, scenic walking trails, and inviting picnic shelters, making it an ideal location for local sports leagues and family gatherings. AJ Jolly Park, spanning over 1,000 acres, offers a tranquil escape with a pristine lake for fishing and kayaking, extensive hiking trails, and well-equipped camping facilities. The park is also home to AJ Jolly Golf Course, a top-rated 18-hole course renowned for its breathtaking landscape and challenging play.

Visitors can now access the high-speed Wi-Fi network in the golf course clubhouse, designated areas in the parks/equestrian facilities, and camping areas.

“Campbell County continues to lead the way in elevating experiences for our residents and visitors to our parks,” said Judge Executive Steve Pendery. “Visitors will now have access to their favorite online music, videos, e-books, and social media as part of their park experience.”

altafiber will oversee management of the Wi-Fi networks at Pendery Park, AJ Jolly Park, and AJ Jolly Golf Course. John Putnam, Sales Director for altafiber, said the partnership reflects altafiber’s commitment to helping its partners leverage technology.

“altafiber’s Wi-Fi network will offer thousands of AJ Jolly Park and Pendery Park visitors connectivity every day, but that’s just part of the benefit,” Putnam said. “By logging into the Wi-Fi network and agreeing to receive messages, visitors will be notified via e-mail of park amenities, specials, and upcoming events, further enhancing the visitor experience.”

John B. Scola, Director of altafiber’s Mobility Program, added that the infrastructure will allow Campbell County to eventually add a full range of connectivity options including sensors in the parks to monitor water levels and quality, air quality, and various equipment functionality.

The Campbell County Fiscal Court utilized American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for this partnership. ARPA allows local governments to allocate funds for high-speed internet, and the County did not use any general funds for this project.

In addition to the Wi-Fi network, altafiber will sponsor new signage at A.J. Jolly Park, as well as provide physical and digital maps to park visitors. For more information about Campbell County Parks, please visit www.campbellcountyky.gov.
