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

A community-flooded patch of open ice with no boards to keep a puck in, so it suits free skating and circling more than a full game of shinny. Permanent lights mean you can keep skating after dark, but you'll be lacing up outside and heading home to warm up — there's no building, washroom, or anyone on site keeping an eye on things.
