Prospera Place, formerly known as Skyreach Place, is a 6,886-seat multi-purpose arena, in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. It replaced Kelowna Memorial Arena, which is still in use for smaller events.
Opened in 1999, it is home to the Kelowna Rockets hockey club.
The arena hosted the Memorial Cup in 2004.
The arena has hosted concerts by many famous artists, spanning many different genres.
The So You Think You Can Dance Canada Tour came to the arena in 2009 & 2010.
A multi-story parking garage is situated nearby, as well as a private parking lot made available by the arena for attendants who have purchased a parking pass.
Prospera Credit Union obtained naming rights to the arena in 2003, rights it will keep until at least January 2019.[3]
