Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).

Permanent boards and lights make this a full-evening hockey setup, with a separate puddle area alongside for anyone who'd rather just skate laps. The community building means you can lace up indoors and use a washroom, and there's usually someone on duty while it's open. Volunteers from the neighbourhood keep the ice going, so conditions follow how much time they've had between cold nights.
