Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Nov 2024).

Boards and lights go up for the season here, so there's room for a shinny game after dark. The ice is looked after by community volunteers rather than the city, so conditions swing with the weather and how recently someone's been out to flood it. No staff on site and no accessible entry, so come ready to look after yourselves.
