Councillors in Dundee have signed off on doling out a combined £1.5 million to improve Dundee's parks and play areas to encourage locals to make the most of their green spaces.
Elected members approved plans for £750,000 of improvements in parks including Dudhope Park, Riverside Nature Park, Lochee High Street, Reres Park, Magdalen Green, Baxter Park, Caird Park and the Law. Some of the planned works include improvements to paths, new plantings, outdoor furniture and new signs.
Elsewhere, the council has also agreed to spend another £750,000 on improvements to Dundee's play areas - with much of the cash going towards the installation of accessible play equipment that is suitable for children regardless of their disability. The proposals were signed off at a meeting of the council's policy and resources committee on Monday.
