New Yorkers can stay connected for free at 26 locations in 20 NYC parks across the five boroughs. The five-year initiative was launched last year in partnership with AT&T at no cost to taxpayers. This initiative is part of the longer-term plan to make NYC one of the leading digital cities in the world.
