Andy MacLellan, team manager said: “It's great we're re-opening our outdoor play facilities in time for the school holidays but need to continue following the Scottish Government's guidance on this.
"We look forward to welcoming communities back to our parks and open space facilities, whilst reminding everybody to continue observing physical distancing, regular hand washing, and use a common sense approach.”
The council is adding safety messages to all facilities which urge the public to wash their hands before using any equipment, follow physical distancing rules, cough or sneeze into tissue or elbow, and always be respectful and considerate of others.
