Amenity details from City of Ottawa open data (Mar 2022).

A boarded, lit rink kept up by the community, with a puddle rink beside it — so there's room for a game and somewhere gentler to circle if you're not up for the shinny. The trailer gives you a warm spot to lace up and someone on hand while it's open, though there's no washroom and the site isn't wheelchair accessible.
