Springfield Park

Springfield Park is a 23.54-acre park in the Springfield Gardens section of southeastern Queens, providing substantial green space and athletic facilities in a residential neighborhood near the Queens-Nassau County border.

Springfield Gardens is a predominantly African American and Caribbean American residential community of single-family homes with a suburban character. The neighborhood's wide streets, detached houses, and community institutions give it a quiet, family-oriented atmosphere.

The park features baseball and softball diamonds, basketball courts, a playground, and open green areas with mature shade trees. The athletic facilities support organized youth and adult sports leagues that serve the southeastern Queens community.

Springfield Gardens' proximity to JFK Airport means that air traffic is a constant overhead presence, but the neighborhood has maintained its residential appeal through strong community organizations, well-maintained homes, and access to parks and green spaces like Springfield Park.

Springfield Park provides essential recreation infrastructure for a stable residential community in southeastern Queens, supporting the youth athletics, family recreation, and community gathering that anchor the neighborhood's quality of life.
