"Kindly Stop..."
I'm interested by the penultimate achievement for Episode 5. The image shows a rusty rest area sign which is frayed and covered with white holes, which means two things:
1: The sign's been riddled with bullets
2: The snow is swallowing up everything
Personally, I feel that this indicates that Clementine will reach a rest stop right outside the edge of Wellington. The bullet-holes seem to point at the presence of hostile survivors wielding guns. Perhaps there'll even be a vicious shootout between her and bandits at this rest stop. In any case, I think that the climax of the episode will occur here and Clementine will have her most impressive action-heroine moment at this rest stop.
Imagine Clementine being the only one left to protect her crippled group, taking on an entire band of heavily-armed marauders on her own just like Ellie from The Last Of Us. Imagine her and Kenny/Luke taking on a dozen bandits and a horde of zombies in the midst of a violent blizzard. I believe the music heard in this teaser will be used for this epic final battle:

TBH I think the music is gonna be used in the trailer
I feel the trailer might be a slower, more melancholic affair than the intense scene which that song seems to be applied to. Not sure yet.
But I just wanted to bring up the idea of Clementine proving herself as a protector by single-handedly winning a gunfight against bandits. She may have been caught unawares during the massacre with Arvo's group, but this time she manages to save her people from hostile human beings. I imagine that Clementine choosing to directly kill human beings for survival will be the climactic point of her character arc this season - all previous incidents, including her determinant killing of the Stranger, weren't necessarily intended murders.
Kindly Stop For Me, makes me think that Clementine might meet new people who will appear in Season 3.
For me the playground wasn't of any significance, I think the group will just walk by in passing. I think it was just to set the scene for the bizarre weather conditions the group will have to go through.
Other than driving home that Clem's childhood is frozen and dead. I do think that the final portion of the game will be set in a violent blizzard.
But just imagine Clementine fighting off bandits and zombies alike in the middle of a blinding snow-storm.
