Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Feb 2019).

Boards and seasonal lights make this a spot for evening shinny, with a separate puddle surface off to the side for anyone who'd rather skate laps or is still finding their feet. The fieldhouse means you can lace up indoors, use a washroom, and warm up partway through — and with supervision on site, it suits longer family visits. Ice here is looked after by the community, so conditions track local volunteers and the weather;
