On Wednesday, November 28, 2007, L.A. County Sup. Gloria Molina joined Eastside residents, health specialists, fitness advocates, environmental activists, and county planners to celebrate the Fitness Zone Launch at Belvedere Park in East L.A. Thanks to a $750,000 donation from Kaiser Permanente to the Trust for Public Land—which then partnered with L.A. County—East L.A. residents can access basic health club equipment free of charge. The elliptical machines, weights, and aerobic equipment is suitable for a variety of ages and fitness levels. Plans are underway to build Fitness Zones at San Angelo Park in Bassett, Sunshine Park in Valinda, Roosevelt Park in Florence-Firestone/Walnut Park, and Dalton Park in unincorporated Azusa.
