Hide AdCraigseaton Play Area has been affected by the fire-setting, as has Stewartfield Park, where outdoor gym equipment has been removed as a result.
A West Lothian Council spokesperson said: “These are examples of extremely reckless and dangerous behaviour. The damaged equipment is of a high standard and it is not a quick or easy job to replace the damaged units.
“We’d ask members of the public to be vigilant and to please report any incidents to Police Scotland by calling 101.”
