Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Feb 2019).
Boards and seasonal lights make this a spot for evening shinny, with a puddle rink alongside when you'd rather just skate loops. The fieldhouse gives you somewhere to lace up and a supervisor on site, though there's no washroom and the site isn't accessible. Volunteers keep the ice going, so conditions follow the weather and their schedule.
