Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).

Boards, lights and a supervised schedule make this a straightforward spot for evening shinny, with the adjacent puddle rink giving anyone who'd rather not dodge pucks somewhere to circle. The fieldhouse means you can lace up inside and there's a washroom on hand, though the site isn't set up for accessible access. Volunteers from the neighbourhood keep the ice going.
