Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Dec 2020).

Boards, seasonal lights and a fieldhouse with washrooms and a place to change mean you can lace up indoors and keep skating after dark, with someone on site while it's open. The separate puddle surface next to the boarded rink leaves room for wobbly first skates away from the puck. Volunteers look after the ice here, so conditions follow the weather and the crew's schedule, and the site isn't set
