I don't really see why it's a bad thing to use your spare time to do something utterly pointless but enjoyable. Sure, he could have done any one of the things you mentioned, volunteering, etc. - and there's no way of knowing if this guy has or hasn't done any of that (though I'll bet that wouldn't be newsworthy) - but he obviously wanted to build something fun for his kid and the kids of the area, and so he did.
Several years ago, I helped build a playground in the area where I used to live. It didn't have any kind of helpful message, I wasn't building houses for people, but it's something that kids can use to have fun - and that's important. This seems - to me at least - to be the same concept. It's so kids can have fun.
