Work to transform the Bowl stadium in Douglas has begun.
The £3 million needed to carry out the project was only agreed by Tywnald earlier this month, with work due to get under way in August.
However, men are already on site carrying out preparatory work, ahead of a big push to get the facility ready in time for next year's Commonwealth Youth Games.
Leader of Douglas Borough Council David Christian says that was always the plan, once the facility had been transferred to central government:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Programme is for eligible Year 13 students and under-25s
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Price tag has jumped up by £600,000 since scheme was first approved
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
RNLI crew tows vessel back into harbour
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
Police say there's no indication of any wider risk to the public
