With the exception of the Commercial Slip (see photo where the canal boat is parked) the ice rink area is shallow and can only host small paddle boats in the summers, and is then frozen over in the winter to allow ice skating. This area had been built over during the 20th Century, covering the original canals, until the creation of the current Canalside area began in the 2010s.
