Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Mar 2022).

Boards on one pad and a puddle rink beside it mean a shinny game and a loop of easy skating can happen at the same time. The fieldhouse means you can lace up indoors and use a washroom, and with lights and a supervisor on hand, evenings are fair game. Ice here is looked after by the community, and note that the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
