Haggerty Park

Haggerty Park is a nearly 4-acre neighborhood park near South Conduit Avenue and 150th Street in the Springfield Gardens section of southeastern Queens. The park provides recreation space in a residential neighborhood near the border with Nassau County.

Springfield Gardens is a predominantly African American and Caribbean American residential community of single-family homes and modest apartment buildings. The neighborhood's suburban character, with tree-lined streets and detached houses, distinguishes it from the denser neighborhoods of central and western Queens.

The park features a playground, basketball courts, and open recreation areas. In a neighborhood where most homes have small private yards, the park provides additional outdoor space for organized sports, children's play, and community gatherings.

The neighborhood's proximity to John F. Kennedy International Airport means that air traffic is a constant presence overhead. Despite this, Springfield Gardens maintains a quiet residential character that attracts families seeking affordable homeownership within the city limits.

Haggerty Park serves the everyday recreation needs of a stable, family-oriented community in southeastern Queens, providing the kind of neighborhood park that supports the residential quality of life that Springfield Gardens' residents value.
