The project involves refurbishing 14 parks around the city as part of a rolling revamp programme.
Aberdeen City Council regeneration spokesman Councillor Ross Grant said: "We are delighted to once again have a programme of refurbishments to our playparks as this has been a fantastic project which has benefited communities all around the city.
"Our city's green spaces and play equipment help to keep our youngsters fit and healthy, and we also know how much fun the youngsters (and the adults they take with them) have at these places.

"We look forward to watching the new round of playparks being refurbished in the next year."
The sites that are earmarked for development for 2018/19 have been split into two different phases - phase one sites are small scale projects that are generally replacing play equipment on a 'like for like' basis, and phase two sites are larger projects.
The City Council will hold some local consultations into the potential designs.
The equipment for the phase one sites has been ordered and all sites are due to be complete before the end of the year, depending on weather conditions.
The phase one playparks include Seaton Gardens South (as part of the Seaton Backies project), Seaton Avenue South (as part of the Seaton Backies project), Balgownie Drive, Ashwood Park, Broaddykes Drive, Wellside Wynd, and at Ferryhill Community Centre.
The phase two sites are larger projects and include Regent Walk, Gallowgate, Middle Brae, Cruikshank Crescent, Eric Hendrie Park, Rosemount Square, and Powis Crescent.
