Consolidated Credit Union Place (formerly known as the Summerside Wellness Centre) is a multi purpose facility that opened in two stages in April 2006 in the City of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It contains an aquatics centre, meeting and convention rooms, a fitness centre, two NHL size ice surface arenas, bowling lanes and an indoor walking track. The swimming portion (Phase 1) consists of a 25 metre competition pool, pleasure pool, a water slide, a water mushroom, a hot tub, steam room, and sauna. There is also a conference centre over 4,000 square feet (370 m2) in size, and Iron Haven Gym, with two squash courts and weight lifting equipment. The second portion (Phase 2), the Arenas, were designed to replace Cahill Stadium and Steele Arena.
Beginning in the fall of 2011, the venue was home to the Summerside Storm of the National Basketball League of Canada until the team relocated to the Eastlink Centre in Charlottetown.
The 3,728 seat arena opened March 1, 2007, featuring a game between divisional rivals: the Summerside Capitals, and Charlottetown Abbies. The Capitals won the game 11-3 in front of 3,417 fans. The ice surface measures 200 x 85 Ft (61 x 26 m). The rink has ten luxury boxes lining the east wall, and has 8-foot (2.4 m) high glass surrounding the entire ice surface. The rink employs angled lights for the benefit of players in sports such as volleyball, so the lights do not shine into their eyes, and the scoreboard retracts into the rafters quite easily for shows requiring a high ceiling, such as a Monster Truck event. There is also a running track at the top of the seating bowl. These features make no difference for the game of hockey, but make the facility much more attractive in its mission of being a multifunction facility. The secondary ice surface consists of a 200 x 85 Ft (61 x 26 m) rink, as well as bleacher style seating for approximately seven hundred people. The secondary ice surface opened March 2, 2007. A new set of bowling lanes was opened in the facility as a replacement to the old lanes at Cahill Stadium.
