Overview
- Disney Cruise Line, ESPN’s Take Back Sports and The Buddy Hield Foundation unveiled a transformed courtyard at Woodcock Primary School that includes a repaved court, new basketball rims and a vibrant mural by Bahamian artist Angelika Wallace‑Whitfield.
- NBA guard Buddy Hield and his foundation led a basketball skills camp at the site to pair the new facility with hands‑on coaching and local youth programming.
- Since The Play Project launched in 2024 alongside Disney Lookout Cay, organizers say it has produced more than 60,000 hours of play for roughly 800 children across nine schools in Eleuthera and Nassau, with expansion planned for Abaco.
- Disney officials framed the Nassau work as part of a year‑round, long‑term community strategy that also supports career programs, scholarships, community gardens and food‑security partnerships in the Bahamas.
- Government and community leaders praised the partnership as an investment in youth development, and project organizers say the Nassau unveiling is meant to be a model for future sites that combine infrastructure, arts and sport programming.
