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.
