Franklin D. Roosevelt Park, one of Los Angeles County’s most historic and enduring community spaces, continues to play a vital role in fostering community engagement and access to essential resources. In 2024, the County achieved a significant milestone with the launch of the Florence-Firestone Tech Center, a collaborative initiative led by Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell (Second District – SD2), Senator Lena A. Gonzalez, the Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Internal Services Department (ISD).

Powered by ISD’s Delete The Divide program, the Tech Center is designed to advance digital equity by providing residents with access to modern technology, resources, and training. Delete The Divide Interns deliver free, hands-on instruction in basic digital skills, ensuring that community members in Florence-Firestone and surrounding neighborhoods are better equipped for education, employment, and everyday digital engagement.
