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

Permanent boards and lights make this a natural spot for evening pickup hockey, with the adjoining puddle rink giving anyone who'd rather just skate a place to go without dodging pucks. There's somewhere to lace up, but no washrooms and no one on duty — the ice is kept up by volunteers from the community, so conditions follow their schedule.
