I'll go out on a limb and say there will be skating. I assume there could be a splash pad or water feature like there is at Violet King Henry Plaza in Edmonton. I would be fine with that.

It would take a lot more time and careful planning, but the Cowboys Park paving could have facilitated ice rink(s) among other things. The park already has basketball, beach volleyball, skate park, and bouldering...it should just be a multi-sport area that can accommodate some special events. Winter could be a full hockey rink and another free skate rink. In the summer maybe the free rink converts to pickleball courts.
But obviously that is pretty ambitious and would take multiple years of careful planning to make it all work together. Or the debauchery tent could just go somewhere else.

It could be possible to have a flooded natural ice rink set up on the pavement, it'd be better than the Lot 6 rink which is just set up on dirt and is nowhere near flat

Yeah, all the natural ice rinks on dirt downtown (Thomson Family Park, Barb Scott Park) have slopes. But the Lot 6 rink is pretty severe in its lack of flatness.
Every year is a learning process about what works and what doesn't, so hopefully next year these issues are addressed.
All that said, the Lot 6 rink did see plenty of use.
