Inverness Park
Outdoor skating
Community-maintained: volunteers flood it, so it usually opens a week or two after the first cold stretch.
76 Inverness Avenue, Nepean
Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).
A boarded rink with a separate puddle surface beside it, so hockey and general skating can happen at the same time — and with permanent lights and supervision, evenings work as well as afternoons. The community building means you can lace up indoors and use a washroom, though the site isn't wheelchair accessible. Volunteers from the neighbourhood keep the ice going, so conditions follow the weather and their flooding schedule.
