FREE WiFi at 10 Grand Rapids Parks

March 18, 2021

Take your remote work outside, watch the kids play Pokémon Go, enjoy a movie on your laptop with a friend, let the kids do their homework at the park. Enjoy the upcoming spring weather outside while staying connected (and not using your cell phone data!). 

Ten Grand Rapids parks now have free public Wi-Fi access thanks to a pilot program supported by CARES Act funding. The Network in a Box (NIB) program aims to bridge the digital divide in Grand Rapids that widened during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing year-round outdoor internet access.
