A section of a new activity facility in the South of the Island has now opened.

Castletown Commissioners says the riding bowl at Poulsom Park is now free to use, calling it 'an additional festive gift' for those who've received the likes of new bikes or skateboards for Christmas.

The new skate park at the site is the result of a £165k project - local commissioner Jimmy Cubbon previously said he believes it can be a 'world class' complex.

The authority says landscaping will continue into the new year ahead of an official launch in 2020.
