Playground

Not a lot of details floating around about this one, which honestly tells you something about how often it comes up in conversation. McClure is a small town, so if there’s a playground here, it’s likely the kind of spot locals just know about without making a fuss. If you’re passing through Alexander County and need a place for kids to stretch their legs, it might be worth a quick look. Just don’t expect a lot of bells and whistles — this is rural southern Illinois, and that’s part of the charm.
