Mississauga's first public arena
Port Credit Memorial Arena was built in 1959 to a design by Canadian architect Robert C. Fairfield. It was Mississauga's first public arena and is the city's oldest surviving one.
The two-storey, 50,000-square-foot building holds a single ice pad under a barrel-vaulted roof of laminated Douglas fir arches set on large concrete piers, and the exposed wooden vault is the arena's defining feature inside. The city counts the arches among the building's heritage elements.
Generations of kids have learned to skate and play hockey here, and the arena also hosts figure skating, lacrosse and public events through the year, with a pro shop and concessions. As a city arena it runs drop-in fun skates, figure skating and hockey shinny, stick and puck and skating lessons.
