Pettit Park playground

Right in the middle of Clare, this spot is one of those playgrounds you end up at because everything else is nearby — grab lunch on the main drag and let the kids burn off some energy here. The wheelchair accessibility is genuinely done right, so kids with different abilities can actually play together without the usual obstacles. It covers the 2–12 range well enough that you’re not stuck managing a toddler on equipment built for big kids. Small-town community park energy, which honestly makes it feel more relaxed than the bigger regional spots.
