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

Butterfly Park isn't running this season, so it's worth checking elsewhere before heading over. When it does go in, it's a pair of open community-flooded surfaces with no boards or lights — better suited to daytime free skating than pickup hockey, and there's nowhere on site to lace up or warm up, so come ready to skate and head home.
