Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Mar 2022).

A boarded rink with a puddle beside it means you can get a game going and still have somewhere to circle around on skates, and the permanent lights keep both going after dark. It's looked after by neighbours rather than the city, with no building on site — lace up in the car and bring whatever you'll need, since there's no washroom, change space or supervision.
