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

A bare-bones community puddle rink — no boards, no lights, and nothing in the way of a building, so plan on daylight hours and lacing up in the car. It's the kind of place for a casual free skate close to home, and since neighbours keep the ice up, conditions will follow the weather closely.
