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

A boarded rink for shinny plus a puddle surface beside it means skaters and hockey players don't have to share, and the lights let both run past dark. The community building nearby covers washrooms and a place to lace up, though there's no supervision and the ice is whatever the volunteers who flood it have managed lately. Getting around it isn't barrier-free.
