Clarence Thompson is a fairly small, older park. It has lots of large shade trees, a small practice field/open space, an interesting play area, and a few picnic tables.
The play space for bigger children is fairly unique. It is almost all climbing apparatus - lots of ropes, bars, and futuristic looking spinning devices.

The playground for little ones is fairly modern in style, with slides, tunnels, periscopes that the kids can't help but look into (they work!), and a tiny little store front for pretend play. There is also a spinning chair low enough to the ground for my preschoolers to climb into on their own.

Between the two there is the only merry-go-round I've seen since I was a child. It is net-roped for safety, but one of my girls managed to fall out the entry 'hole' while a parent was spinning it around, so tell your kiddos to sit down and hold tight. The playground features two baby swings and two regular ones.
