Onchan Commissioners are draining the boating lake in Onchan Park for safety reasons.
It follows a separate incident in the UK where a number of children passed away after falling into a frozen lake.
Clerk of the commissioners, Ross Phillips said: “We have commenced emptying the boating pool to reduce the risk of an accident, but due to the current prolonged inclement weather it is taking a long time for the water to leave the pool, and there will still be risk of ice in the bottom of the pool once it empties.
“Members of the public are also advised to be aware of the advice already publicly provided by the Isle Of Man Police and the Royal Life Saving Society.”
The commissioners have also placed warning signage around the perimeter of the lake.
