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

A community-run setup with a boarded rink for hockey alongside a puddle surface for anyone who'd rather just skate laps, and permanent lights mean it keeps going well after dark. The fieldhouse gives you somewhere to lace up and there's someone on site while it's open, though there's no washroom and the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
