Work is underway to install new play park equipment in Renfrewshire.

The schemes at Barshaw Park in Paisley and Robertson Park in Renfrew are part of a phased programme of infrastructure works worth £2 million being carried out at both parks.

The works are likely to last approximately six weeks at Barshaw Park and 10 weeks at Robertson Park.

The first phase of works is already being carried out and scheduled for completion next week. Features included a series of upgrades made to pathways, roads and drainage systems improving areas affected by flooding and enhancing the overall park experience for visitors.

The next phase of works is to provide dynamic play opportunities for a wide age group of users. Items being installed at the parks include; a wooden castle unit, a range of swings, crawling pyramid, five-way swing, climbing wall and tyre swing.

Cllr Natalie Don said: "The improvements being made to Barshaw Park and Robertson Park will help enhance the experience for all who use the parks.

"Parks have a central role to play in the community especially when it comes to offering places for families to spend time together. The installation of the new play equipment will deliver facilities that can be enjoyed by members of the local community for years to come."
