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

A plain patch of flooded ice the city keeps up, with no boards, no lights and nothing in the way of a building — so it's a daylight-hours stop for easy skating or puck-pushing rather than a full game. Come dressed, lace up outside, and plan on heading home when you need a washroom or a warm-up.
