The added garden benefits more people in the community than just a play area. However, all of these things together benefit the entire community as a whole by making it a better place to live for everyone.

It's the exchange of money and contractual exclusivity that I object to.

If the community garden was actually open to all - free of charge - to
till and harvest cooperatively, I think that'd be great, even though I
would not participate.  Or if it was on private land, or land set aside
for that purpose, that'd be fine, too.
