Disney is contributing $5 million and the talents of its Imagineers to help Los Angeles County rebuild Charles White Park and other fire-damaged Altadena parks.
Disney has pledged $5 million to help Los Angeles County rebuild Altadena’s Charles White Park, which was destroyed in January’s wildfire. The restored park is planned to include a new community center and an enhanced playground designed with input from Walt Disney Imagineering, aligning with an anticipated reopening in 2026. This support is part of Disney’s larger $15 million commitment to wildfire recovery across Los Angeles County.
As reported by William Earl, Disney Imagineers have already begun collaborating with County staff on site planning, landscape architecture, and playground design for the park. Their involvement carries personal meaning, as several Imagineers lost their own homes during the Altadena and Palisades fires. In addition to Charles White Park, Disney is also helping rebuild two other Altadena park sites that were severely damaged by the fires.
Disney’s support extends beyond the rebuilding of physical spaces. The company is also contributing to Altadena’s historic Christmas Tree Lane Lighting Ceremony and Winter Festival by adding character appearances, festive experiences, and donating more than 1,000 toys to the community’s annual toy drive. This reflects Disney’s broader participation in community recovery efforts following the fires, as well as its longstanding ties to the Los Angeles region.
