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

A boarded rink with a puddle alongside means pickup hockey and free skating can happen at the same time, and the permanent lights keep both going well after dark. The trailer gives you somewhere to lace up, but there's no washroom, so plan around that. Volunteers from the neighbourhood look after the ice and no one supervises, so conditions come down to how the flooding has been going.
