John O’Sullivan Park (Lees Road Sports and Amenity Park)

Locals around Lees Road have a real gem here — the kind of spot where you can bring the dog, let the kids loose on the climbing structure and sandbox, and actually enjoy a proper walk through woodland trails without driving anywhere special. The open grass field gets plenty of use for a kickabout, and the shade trees make the picnic tables genuinely usable on a warm Clare day. Parking and toilets on-site means you’re not scrambling, which honestly makes a difference when you’ve got little ones in tow. It suits everyone from toddlers to older kids, and the trail access keeps the walkers and runners happy too.
