Linda Choy, Vice President of Public Affairs at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, stated that the resort has always valued corporate social responsibility, with a particular focus on Disney's three core areas: caring for the community, protecting the environment, and inspiring creativity. Through this "Community-Built Playground" event, the public is introduced to the concept of child-centered creative playgrounds, allowing everyone to appreciate and enjoy nature. It encourages children and their families to design and build their own playgrounds by hand, using eco-friendly materials and simple items to unleash their creativity and experience the most primitive joy of play. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is committed to promoting social inclusion; a playground is the most egalitarian environment where children and families of any grassroots, ethnic, or background can enjoy recreational facilities in the same space.
The "Community-Built Playground" is a playground designed by its users. Children, parents, and all participants can join the design process, using various materials such as stones, trees, tires, ladders, and waste paper to build play facilities. The entire community is free to use their imagination to create a playground that suits their preferences. The "Community-Built Playground" event allows children to experience firsthand how to use the simplest and most primitive materials, such as cardboard, fabric scraps, bricks, wood, and bamboo, combined with their own creativity, to build and enjoy their dream playground with their families in a natural environment. It is understood that this is a purely charitable event. The participating children and parents were recruited through the Facebook pages of Hong Kong Disneyland and the Playright Children's Play Association. Free admission and the simple, rustic way of playing have also brought more joy to children from many low-income families.
Hong Kong Disneyland is committed to giving back to society. As the park becomes increasingly popular with tourists from mainland China, it also hopes to find more charitable projects to collaborate on in the mainland, spreading the joy of Hong Kong Disneyland to more places. Linda Choy revealed that Hong Kong Disneyland is currently planning to cooperate with the "Habitat for Humanity" organization again, continuing to look for suitable and needy areas to carry out housing renovation projects. Last June, Hong Kong Disneyland participated in the "Dilapidated Housing Renovation Project" in Panrong Village, Rongshui County, Guangxi, building houses for 20 families.
