An exciting new vision for a Renfrew park has been revealed by the council as it plans to install much-needed fresh equipment.
Tinto Square has been lined up as one of 14 play areas across Renfrewshire to be fully renewed, while another seven will have existing apparatus refurbished.
And an artist's impression of what the park should look like following works has been released.
The new park will feature a hip-hop rotating seesaw, junior swing with a basket seat and flat seats, and a wheelchair-accessible scooter roundabout.
The design was pulled together following an online consultation with schoolkids who had a chance to suggest what they would like to see in their local play area.

Work is set to begin in May with an aim of completing the makeover in time for kids to enjoy it during the summer.
Renfrew South and Gallowhill councillors Jim Paterson and Cathy McEwan have welcomed the plans and are especially pleased youngsters have been involved in its creation.
Councillor Paterson said: "I am sure residents will be delighted with the plans for this park, particularly as local school pupils were consulted on the type of equipment they would like to see included.
"With work set to begin in May, it is great to know the park will be ready in time for families to enjoy over the summer months."
Infrastructure and environment convener Councillor McEwan added: "I am delighted the park in Tinto Square will be one of the first to benefit from the Renfrewshire-wide investment in play parks.
"This is phase one and I hope to see other parks receive similar upgrades soon, particularly within the Renfrew and Gallowhill area.”
Other play areas which are in line for renewal are those in Lochwinnoch Park, Ardgryffe Park in Houston, Churchill Drive in Bishopton, Park Mains in Erskine and Campbell Street in Renfrew.
Equipment will also be ripped out and replaced at parks in Elm Drive/Sycamore Ave and Ellerslie Street in Johnstone and East End Park, Maxwellton Park, Ben Lawers (Hawkhead Park), Crags Road, Durrockstock Park and Morar Drive in Paisley.
Refurbishments will be taking place at Robertson Park in Renfrew, Barshaw Park in Paisley, Dunvegan Avenue in Elderslie, Howwood Toddler/Junior play area, Houston Public Park, Moss Road Park in Bridge of Weir and Inchinnan Playing Fields.
