Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Feb 2019).

A community-flooded puddle rink with no boards and nothing in the way of a building, so lace up at home and keep it to free skating rather than a game. Permanent lights mean you can still get out after dark, though the ice here lives and dies by the weather.
