Bathgate Park, College St and Karitane playgrounds will be closed for three months while work is carried out, but delays associated with importing equipment could push out the completion date.
The Bathgate Park playground in South Dunedin is getting a $385,000 revamp and equipment there will include a fort, log scramble, talking tubes, basketball half court and a carousel that can accommodate children in wheelchairs.
The College St playground in Caversham will feature a revamped fort and community orchard after its $135,000 upgrade.
The Karitane playground is getting a $125,000 upgrade that aligns with its coastal environment.
An adventure course there is to include pull-up bars, a net climb, vertical climbing rope, balance beam, log jumps, stepping poles, climbing ladder bridges, box jump and parallel bars.
The council had received feedback about designs from the public, South Dunedin Community Network, Caversham Community Group and Waikouaiti Maori Foreshore Trust Board.
The council also plans to build a pump bike track at Marlow Park, near St Kilda Beach.
