These works are continuing throughout the district as part of a £180,000 investment in play park redevelopments during 2019/20.
Stirling Council's Investment in Play Areas programme helps replace dated play equipment to ensure parks are up to standard for both today's and future generations of Stirling's children.
This programme has seen the provision of over 20 new items of play equipment, improving areas like Stirling's Kings Park, Killearn at Crosshead Road play area, Cambusbarron at King George V Park and Raploch at Craigforth play area.

A complete refurbishment at Dunblane's Laigh Hills Park was also supported, as well as £48,000 work at Donaldson Park in Balfron and the installation of a new zip line at Causewayhead Park.
The funding for the projects is made up of council investment, developer contributions and external grants.
Vice Convenor Danny Gibson said: "Play parks offer a number of positive benefits for pre-school and young children, including improving health, learning and physical and social development through play, exercise and interaction with greenspace. The funding has made real changes to these parks, providing excellent outdoor facilities for children and families to enjoy.
"The improvements are a wonderful example of the council engaging with local communities in order to take Stirling's play parks and green spaces, which are a vital resource to our residents, to the next level."
