More plans are being made to upgrade play areas across Falkirk district - and Falkirk Council is looking for local views on how best to improve them.
The improvement plans are part of the rolling programme to upgrade or create new playparks over the next five years.
Consultation is now open on the council's website for residents to tell them what they would like to see at Limerigg Park and South View, Stenhousemuir - also known as the Valley Park.

The work is partly funded by the Council’s rolling capital programme - around £85,000 a year. However, additional funding has been provided through the Scottish Government’s Play Renewal Fund.
