Clarecastle Playground

Right in the middle of Clarecastle, this is one of those playgrounds that actually gets looked after — and you notice it straight away. The zipline is the obvious crowd-pleaser, but there’s enough here between the climbing frame, slides, and swings to keep kids from 2 to 12 genuinely occupied. It’s fully enclosed, which makes a real difference when you’ve got younger ones running in every direction. Parents tend to park themselves on the benches and can see the whole place without having to trail around after anyone. Solid option if you’re passing through Clare or just need an hour out of the house.
