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

A community-kept puddle rink with no boards or lights, so it's an open patch of ice best enjoyed in daylight — fine for a loop with the kids, less so for a puck that can roll away. The fieldhouse gives you somewhere to lace up, though there's no washroom on site.
