Orient toward commercial cell gear and don't get too excited about wifi. Park wifi is hardly ever actually usable. It's common to get a strong signal but no bandwidth.
For example, where I am now the AP is on the next site over but since it's connected to an older satellite system it's barely usable. It's ok for text such as this forum but nothing else. The problem is that wired broadband isn't available here and we're too far away for an ordinary cell hotspot to work.
At some parks wifi sometimes works ok during the day but dies in the evening and on weekends when everyone cranks up their devices and goes on Facebook, Youtube and start trying to stream stuff.
