The Alley Cafe - Ottawa, Ontario

A very nice local ice hockey rink. It has 2 pads, a nice concession, a place to get you skates sharpened. Parking is ample but can be challenging during peak periods

Love our home arena. Lots of seating with two rinks and large change rooms. Also the canteen is awesome with fresh poutine and hot dogs and great staff. There is also tons of free parking and an event hall as well as skate sharpening. ... Missed it while it was closed during covid. Read more

The Jim Durrell Recreation centre is a great place for everyone in your family.to enjoy sports and recreational activities. They have two great ice arenas for hockey, ringette and figure skating as well as a small practice rink. The ice surfaces are kept in great shape with good refrigeration. The ... dressing rooms are of good size and the showers are kept clean. There is ample room to watch games in both the Walkley and Peplinski arenas as well as you can watch outside in the warmer viewing area where you can enjoy a warm coffee and food from the arena's snack bar. The community centre also has seasonal camps for both kids and adults, skating lessons, and it is a great facility for league play. This community centre is part of the City of Ottawa's recreational centres and lots of people enjoy it, so why not join in with the rest of the community and have some fun. If you like my reviews, photos or videos why not shoot your thumb up to the top shelf and have a good skate. Read more

Cold rink...brrrrrrrr...makes for great ice though. Plenty of parking, with specially designated spots for those that are challenged. Washrooms are clean however an odd setup for soap - only one actually dispenses soap, so theres a line up......for soap!! Excellent canteen, and really friendly staff. #localguide
