Stay Connected Outdoors: Free WiFi Now Available In Grand Rapids Parks

Sometimes you just want to scroll with a view, but without internet access- your laptop or tablet may just be a useless brick- leaving you attached to the wall at home or in a coffee shop. But, what if you could turn that work from home day into a work from your favorite Grand Rapids park day, instead?

The city of Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation announced on facebook that they have added a pilot program to over two dozen Grand Rapids parks that will offer free open Wi-Fi to anyone who is visiting.
