These are spaced about every 300 meters next to the trail in Memorial Park in Houston, TX, but they aren’t only along the trail. They are throughout the park. Does anyone have an idea what they might be? Thanks!

Serious answer: mobile phone base / cell phone tower
There are already a bunch of those in the park, and they are huge. That makes me think they have to be something else. It’s probably wifi? I just thought they wouldn’t be at such a density if that were the case. Thanks for the response and the chuckle.
5G cellular is high bandwidth but very short range, so yeah they need that kind of density to maintain coverage. They installed them in a street near me and they’re placed every couple of blocks. It’s useful to think of the usual WiFi router at home: you can set up 2.4g and 5g access points. The 5g ones are faster, but have shorter range and you need to use the 2.4g one if you’re far from the router
Gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. Not sure why we need such coverage in the park, but I’m sure it’s great for someone!
Oh so corporate mind control then. Gotta serve those ads, bro, yes even in the park, how else can we make line go up bro we can’t just expect line to go up without any ads bro we can’t have people enjoying the park without ads bro PLEASE THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDER! WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDER!
I get the sentiment but I imagined it was more about safety than advertising
