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

A boarded rink with a puddle beside it means hockey and free skating can happen at the same time, and with lights up for the season you can keep going after dark. The fieldhouse gives you somewhere to lace up indoors and a washroom, and there's someone on site while it's open. Volunteers from the community look after the ice, and note the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
