Ice maintained by the community

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

A bare community-flooded puddle rink — no boards, no lights, nothing on site — so it's daylight skating only, and you'll want to lace up in the car. Best for an easy free skate or a bit of shinny when the weather has been kind to the ice.
