A £1.3m major refurbishment project to improve several playparks across Aberdeen has been completed.

The playparks at Persley Court, Oldtown Terrace, Duthie Park and Devenick Place have all had work done to them, like installing seats and improving equipment.

The refurbishments are part of a rolling programme which has taken place over several years, and also includes an annual play equipment audit.

Councillor John Wheeler said: "We know how much fun the youngsters (and adults they take with them) have with the refurbished playparks around the city so I'm delighted more have been completed for the Easter break.

"Several of the contractors involved made a huge effort to get the sites complete so the children could enjoy the new equipment while they're off school.

"I hope the weather will improve for the rest of the Easter holidays but in any case, I'm sure our city's youngsters will make excellent use of the playparks in the coming months and years."
