Plans for a new skatepark, and what would be the Island's first pump track in Freshwater, have moved a step forward.
Initial designs of what the project, at Stroud, could look like have also been released.
And engineering firm Gravity Engineering Ltd has agreed to carry out the works.
It follows Freshwater Parish Council's (FPC's) recent approval of proposals.
A consultation is now underway for members of the community to have their say.
It's expected £120,000 will be put into the project by FPC over the next two years.

With the current skatepark nearing the end of its life, and repairs and upkeep costing more and more, the aim is for a long-lasting asset to the community, with something for all riders and ages to enjoy.
As well as a skate park, a pump track is expected to be installed. This is a circuit of rollers, banked turns and features designed to be used by riders.
It's hoped the design of the park will accommodate all riders, including those using Skateboards, Scooters, Bikes, Roller skates, Rollerblades, and wheelchairs.
Further consultation will now be held with residents, as well as a site visit for councillors and some local riders to other parks built by the company.
FPC has said it is welcoming any interest in sponsorship.
