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

Boards, lights and volunteer ice crews add up to a proper neighbourhood hockey rink, with a separate puddle area alongside for anyone who'd rather just skate circles. The community building means you can lace up indoors and use a washroom, and there's someone on site keeping an eye on things. Getting around the site isn't barrier-free, so plan accordingly.
