This beautiful neighborhood park welcomes parkgoers with many amenities, including baseball, basketball, handball, and tennis courts as well as spray showers, playgrounds, and the perfect spot for reflection and stargazing! The lawn, which was named Musician's Oval in 2021, honors the neighborhood's noted talents and includes paved constellations with the date, time, and orientation at which they can be seen best! The flagpole to the north of the lawn is intended to act as a timepiece telling the hour with its shadow.

This park was renamed in 2022 in honor of Archie Spigner (1928-2020), a local politician who served for 27 years as a City Councilman for District 27 in southeast Queens. During his tenure, he advocated for education, infrastructure, and the underserved community. He was integral in the founding of York College and the Archer Avenue subway extension line which made it easier to commute there.
