Kingsmere Park
Outdoor skating
Community-maintained: volunteers flood it, so it usually opens a week or two after the first cold stretch.
2074 Benjamin Avenue, Ottawa
Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).
A boarded rink with a puddle pad beside it, plus seasonal lights, means you can get a game going after dark and still have somewhere to circle if the hockey side is busy. The fieldhouse is open for lacing up and washrooms, and there's someone on site while it's running. Ice here is kept up by volunteers from the neighbourhood, so conditions follow the weather and their schedule; note that the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
