Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Feb 2019).
Permanent boards and lights make this a straightforward spot for evening shinny, with a separate puddle pad alongside for anyone who just wants to skate in circles. The community building means you can lace up indoors and use a washroom, though the site isn't wheelchair accessible. Volunteers look after the ice and no one's on duty, so how it's skating on any given day comes down to the weather and the crew.
