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 council is also looking to create a new play area at Kinnigars Park in Bo'ness, in a bid to ensure that all households can access an open space containing a play space within walking distance of their homes.
The Carriden/ Kinningars area of Bo’ness currently falls below the standard set out in Falkirk Council's open space strategy, so it is looking to invest in a brand new play area.
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.
Now in its second year, the five-year play renewal fund allocated £147,000 for the last financial year and £145,000 for this year.
Some of that cash last year helped to upgrade play areas in Avonbridge and Standburn, after the bulk of the funding was organised by a local group, Avonbridge and Standburn Recreational Initiative (ASRI).
ASRI was formed by a group of local volunteers after a community consultation plan in 2017 identified a lack of facilities in both Avonbridge and Standburn and highlighted that the playparks in both areas were in need of investment and redevelopment.
Financial support was provided by EB Scotland Scottish Landfill Communities Fund in the form of a capital grant, with additional funding from Falkirk Council.
