Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).
A community-run rink in Sandy Hill with boards and seasonal lights, so evening shinny is on the table, plus a puddle alongside for anyone who'd rather skate in circles than dodge pucks. The fieldhouse means a warm place to lace up, washrooms and a change space, and there's supervision on site. Note that the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
