It also includes an outdoor skating rink. Ben Franklin Place also houses an Ottawa By-Law Enforcement Office and the West Bureau of Investigations and Prevention for the Ottawa Fire Service.

Built to house the former city of Nepean's city hall, the complex was named for the first mayor of Nepean, Ben Franklin.
