Quigley was sometimes referred to as the "superintendent of playgrounds" and was very involved in the city recreational sports leagues for children and adults. The Playgrounds department hosted an annual junior tennis tournament for many years in the 20s and 30s. Quigley was also instrumental in building the Fresno Municipal Golf Course. The time, Fresno had three private golf clubs (Sunnyside, Fort Washington and Riverside) but no municipal course. The city took over the Riverside gold course and contructed additional holes. Should make a page for Fort Washington Golf Course.

The budget has been an issue.
