Two NHL-size arenas, opened in 2010

Stride Place, formerly the Portage Credit Union Centre, opened on February 27, 2010, decades after a community recreation centre first proposed in the 1970s was rejected by residents in a public referendum. A group of local residents revived the idea in 2006, construction started in September 2008, and delays pushed the opening back from the fall of 2009. The building carries a LEED silver rating, and Stride Credit Union holds its naming rights through 2030.

It holds two arenas, both with NHL-size ice. The larger Stride Credit Union Arena seats 1,675 with standing room for 300 more, and the Portage Mutual Arena holds 300 spectators plus 100 standing. The Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League are the main arena's primary tenant, the Portage Islanders senior team has played here since 2015, and local minor hockey, ringette and figure skating use the arenas too.

Stride Place hosted the 2011 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, the 2015 Royal Bank Cup and the 2023 Centennial Cup. Then known as the PCU Centre, it was a principal filming location for the 2011 hockey comedy Goon.
