Signs are going up at Highland Council play parks to reinforce the message that they are all closed due to coronavirus and will remain closed until further notice.

All regular safety inspections and maintenance works at the play parks have been suspended.

Not all parks can be physically locked up, but members of the public are being asked to respect the closures and refrain from using any of the play areas.

A council spokesman said: "We are asking the public to make sure they assist in the reduction of the spread of Covid-19 by adhering to the notices going up and avoid using any of our play areas. We want people to stay safe and our playgrounds will reopen only when it is safe to do so.

"In the meantime we are reminding everyone exercising outside that they need to observe the national social distancing two metre guidelines. We thank everyone for their understanding at this time."
