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

A community-run setup with both a boarded rink and a puddle beside it, so a hockey game and someone just circling around can happen at the same time. Permanent lights and a supervised trailer with a place to lace up mean it works for evening visits — just plan on there being no washroom, and note that getting around the site isn't barrier-free.
