Aberdeenshire Council has confirmed all 469 of its playparks are expected to reopen on Monday.
The parks have been closed since March to prevent the spread of coronavirus through hand-to-hand contact.
The council’s landscape service staff have been cutting the grass at the facilities and carrying out safety inspections ahead of the reopening.
At this stage, any play equipment which is deemed unsuitable for use will be cordoned off or removed and we must ask that these not be used in the meantime, the council said.
Parents are also being reminded of the continued risk of transmission via surfaces and should still follow public health guidance on physical distancing and regular hand-washing when using the playparks.
A statement from the council said: “If you are using the equipment, avoid touching your mouth and face, use hand sanitiser wherever possible and thoroughly wash your hands as soon as you get home.
“Grass cutting is continuing in our other parks, open spaces and in our burial grounds and we are liaising with colleagues in Live Life Aberdeenshire and in Education and Children’s Services on the planned recommencement of grass cutting at our sports fields and school estate in the coming weeks.”
