Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Jan 2024).

A gentle, gradual hill with long open runouts — the kind of place that suits younger kids and first-timers more than anyone chasing speed. The catch is direction: keep runs away from the padded rink obstacles to the south and the construction fencing to the north, which leaves a narrower slice of hill than it first appears. Light from the street only reaches the hill indirectly, so late-day sledding here gets dim fast.
