Work on a £100,000 play park refurbishment in Stirling is now complete.

A range of new features have been installed by contractor Landcare Solutions in the Moray Park play area, including a climbing tower, zip wire and sand diggers, to encourage children to get active.

Funding has also been used to replace older equipment with new apparatus and help provide a variety of play experiences for all age groups.

In addition, access around the site has been improved by the creation of a new footpath through the play area, while Stirling Council Roads Service will be extending a short section of footpath near the Multi Use Games Area (MUGA). Further features included replacing the boundary fence and gate, as well as installing new picnic tables and benches and existing swings will be painted during spring by Land Services staff.

The £100,000 project was funded by a contribution from housing developer, Miller Homes.

Cllr Jim Thomson said: "We want our children to be as active and healthy as possible, and the refurbishment of the playpark with such a wide variety of new and improved equipment has produced a fantastic facility that I am sure the children will have a great time using.

"The improvements made to the playpark are a wonderful example of the council engaging with the local community, including undertaking consultation work with the Primary School, to deliver a play park that will of huge benefit to families."
