Gray County I-40 East Playground

If you’re hauling it across the Panhandle on I-40 and the kids are losing their minds in the backseat, this little spot in Clarendon is worth the exit. It’s tucked into a quiet neighborhood, so it actually feels like a break rather than just a parking lot with a slide. Nothing fancy, but that’s kind of the point — let the kids run it out, stretch your legs, and get back on the road without the chaos of a truck stop. Locals don’t really make a special trip out here, but for road-trippers passing through Gray County, it does exactly what it needs to do.
