Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Feb 2019).
Boards go up for the season here alongside a separate puddle rink, so there's room for a hockey game and for anyone who just wants to skate in circles. Volunteers from the community keep the ice going, lights stay on after dark, and a trailer gives you somewhere to lace up — though there's no washroom on site.
