Work Continues On Aberdeen Playpark Refurb Programme

Construction News Image
Work is continuing on a £1.3 million playpark refurbishment programme in Aberdeen.

Both Persley Court and Oldtown Terrace have been revamped and opened before the school holidays started, while work at Duthie Park is finished and the fencing has come down at Devenick Place.

A small amount of work is to be carried out at Devenick Place including installing seats, however the council said the priority was to get the playpark opened during the school holidays.

The refurbishments of playparks started in 2013/14 and have continued in a rolling programme since then. A total of £1.3m is being spent refurbishing play parks in 2017/18..

Cllr 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."
