Atlas Tube Recreation Centre

Fantastic experience: Great sportsplex with 3 rinks, a gym, large indoor pool, library, soccer field, indoor walking track and tennis courts. There's rooms to host parties of all sizes and a large parking lot.

Fantastic experience: Started pickleball today. Everyone is so nice and helpful ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great ama,ing

Fantastic experience: Very nice place for hockey!

Fantastic experience: They have 8 pickle ball courts, and 2 tennis courts, they have fences around all the courts. they have a nice skating rink that very large, and good for groups.

Fantastic experience: perfect place in this area

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Atlas Tube Center Camp to anyone who is looking to keep their kids engaged during the off-school season. They have some amazing activities for children to help build their learning and social skills. All the camp leaders do a fantastic job and are true leaders in helping the children to build a strong foundation. A heartfelt thank you and gratitude for Little Lakeshore Camp organizers. Andrea, Olivia, and Stephanie, you have been amazing to work with! You have created such a positive impact on S.S.

Fantastic experience: Good recreation facility, with public library on site.

Fantastic experience: Great arena and facilities

Fantastic experience: Three rink arena.

Positive experience: This place is wide open so very weak to wind attack ! The building design probably didn't consider wind effect. I can smell every kind of burning CO2 so CO also exist, Ammonia, metal I told them but they are not serious. Not a single people can smell, what a scary people and place ?

Fantastic experience: Nice place for recreation. Lots of parking. Library is good. You will have to sign up and register for activities. Drop in activities are just limited. 2 hour drop in swim on Saturday. That's it. Other than that you need to register

Fantastic experience: Great Modern arena to watch a hockey game

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: The hockey was very interesting to watch and it wasn't very cold in the ice rink area's the pool is very clean and calm and when I walk to the pool I always smell the chlorine and the food is very good the fries are fresh and salty the slushy is just right good flavour and I like how bits of it is just ice then it's flavour I really like it here and go here every weekend

Fantastic experience: The facility is incredible. Very clean and comfortable. It has a library, 3 ice rinks, aquatic centre, gymnasium and meeting rooms. There’s a lot of soccer fields as well as outdoor tennis courts.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and location. Miss the old concessions.

Negative experience: No thanks, I'd rather go swimming in my tub. Simply to many rules. I get it you want kids and adults to be safe, but you can't be too overbaring or controlling either. There's a balance. The fewer rules, the better. What people need to practice more of is common sense. Sure, kids may get banged up once in a while, but hey, that's how they learn and grow. And as long as they aren't doing something very dangerous, they should be left alone. To list a few examples, as a 22 year old male, i was told I couldn't hold my breath under water for who knows what reason. Kids under the age of 16 can't go in the hot tub, even with their parents, again who knows why. You can't lean against pool noodles because they say it can pop out and somehow make you drown. Now, that really doesn't make sense. Parents have to be '5 away from only two kids at a time at all times (understandable if they are very young, but why do they have lifeguards again??). People will always find something to be unhappy about in todays world and therefore want more rules put in place. We simply have it too well. How about we put that energy towards more productive things. Remove all the stupid unnecessary rules, maybe buy some more toys kids could play with, such as floating rafts and paddles, let kids be kids, and I'll give this place 5 stars. Till then, I'll stick to my tub!!

Fantastic experience: The Atlas Tube Recreation Centre is a jewel in the Belle River community. It has three ice rinks, swimming pool, splash pad, gymnasium, walking track,library, soccer fields, dance hall, hall rentals, and a concession stand.Lots of parking ️ available.Highly recommend to visit.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic center for all residents to enjoy with a variety of programs for all the members of any family. There are lots of great programs offered as well

Fantastic experience: A great asset to the Belle River community. I love all the activities they have for kids of all ages as well as adults. Great atmosphere and the staff are always very nice and welcoming from the time you step inside. Our kids love going into the library and taking out books which makes them very happy.

Negative experience: Very noisy. Had a difficult time concentrating.

Fantastic experience: Very big place, lots of nice activities. Gyms and changing rooms are clean. Staff at the front desk are nice and helpful.

Negative experience: Good library facility, but very rude service from help desk at library.

Fantastic experience: An incredible facility with a plethora of amenities and (indoor and outdoor) services!

Positive experience: Clean arena. Very congested by the concession stand as they placed it by the dressing rooms and the only way to get to the other ice pads.

Fantastic experience: Great arena. Nice track and viewing area. Staff working hard to keep the place running. Lots of parking and easy to locate. Very impressed.

Positive experience: The facility is great but is dirty. Tables are always covered in days old food, windows are caked with finger prints that are never cleaned. Floors are washed without being swept first. I’ve had to ask the concession stand for a wash clothe with soap, to wipe down a table to sit and eat at because it was so dirty. I was here 2 weekends in a row and it was the same mess just never cleaned. Last but not least the concession stand. It would be my guess it has new owners. They’ve increased the prices and the quality is not the same. Bring back the old fries for starters!! Tons of potential here, just need someone to take the reins and pay attention to the small things. Yes it seems petty, but for someone that spends most weekends at this place, these things go a long way.

Positive experience:

Fantastic experience: Very fun

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility with lots of activities available

Positive experience: Good, Library was nice books just wish that the card to check your books didn't get expired so soon, it literally is just a card to check out your books.

Fantastic experience: Atlas tube is a great spot for kids to hang out at because there are workers everywhere and there is a library with a giant Chess board, a giant connect 4 and they can also just sit and chat. There is a splash pad outside but when I went it wasn't open but from the looks of it it would be good for kids. The skating is very cheap and if you get there early you get like an hour in a big ice arena with like five people instead of fifty. You can also watch games in the other skating arena. There is a concession stand and the food and drinks are fairly priced. I have not gone to the pools yet but I will next time so I'll update.

Fantastic experience: Perfect place for kids and adults for playing and practices.

Negative experience: Went last week for open swim with my infant. Everything was great. I inquired about bringing an infant floater at that session and was told yes. Called again for confirm and was told yes. When I got there today, front desk said I could absolutely bring the floater in. Life guards instantly stopped me and said I couldn’t. I explained I was told yes and they said I either get a refund and leave or swim without. I swam without and within ten minutes was reprimanded for sitting my son on the ledge while HOLDING HIM, for all of 30 seconds as he enjoyed splashing his feet. They told me I was being “unsafe”. The lifeguards yelled at every parent and child the whole time for playing in the water safely, as children do (going underwater, swimming around like mermaids). These rude sixteen year olds should find another job.

Positive experience: Out in the boonies....and NO FREE WIFI......it's 2023. They finally have free public WiFi,although the connection is horrible...keeps disconnecting every few minutes....especially in pool area.

Positive experience: Family Skate. Reserved ice for hour

Negative experience: Absolutely horrible family swimming place, life guards need more training..

Fantastic experience: Perfect for skating ⛸️swimming, they could use some basketball training and coaching for grade school and high school level....

Negative experience: The skate shop opens when it's convenient to them. Go entire weekends in middle of the hockey season without opening. Get rid of Source for Sports, they are as incompetent at running a skate shop as they are running the brutal sports shop. People will get skates sharpened elsewhere if they can't rely on you to be open!

Negative experience: I attempted to enroll my granddaughters in dancing classes on the morning enrollment opened. I was 3rd in line at the facility and told...EVERY SINGLE CLASS was full. How is that possible? Do you need to know someone to get in? The young lady behind the desk had no explanation. There were so many angry people there, and apparently people calling were put out as well because the facility shut their phones off. Today I brought kids to swim and was told that you need a reservation. There were 9 people in the entire pool. 4 lifeguards. But they were turning family after family away this is their idea of HOLIDAY HOURS .

Negative experience: The pool is nice and clean but too many rules. Every 5 minutes a lifeguard will come and say 'you can't do that'. Basically kids can have no fun because they are always watching over their shoulder to see if a lifeguard is coming. You can't be more then 5 feet away from your kid that IS wearing a life jacket and is in the same pool as you, AS your watching them. I understand that you can't just come to the pool and have the lifeguards babysit your kids but to the point where you have to be a arms length from them at all times and not let them have fun is too much (these are all kids over 6 years and with pool experience). No thanks, I rather go swimming in my tub.

Positive experience: Wish there was better seating in arena

Fantastic experience: Great facility for hockey! Place was clean and great for spectators.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Lots of great programs/classes for young kids.

Positive experience: You cannot find the pool hours or any information on the Lakeshore website. The Atlas tube Center does not have its own website and I find it very difficult to find out what activities are actually there, the building is often empty when we go there and i would guess that is is ment for hockey more than anything else because that is the only time the concession stand is open and there are no other options for food or drinks besides the broken vending machines. All that said the Atlas tube center is a fantastic building and I am very happy to have it in Belle River, I just wish they could figure out how to utilize it better. This is a 5 star place that is just poorly managed.

Fantastic experience: I love the Aquafit classes

Fantastic experience: Huge, clean facility. Has a cozy atmosphere. Tonnes of different activities. Also houses the Lakeshore branch of the Essex Public Library.

Fantastic experience: Great complex with a good assortment of scheduled activities. Plenty of parking, too.

Positive experience: Clean ,good ice .

Fantastic experience: Always good. Very well run. Pickleballing courts always ready to go.

Negative experience: Very poor planning for March break open swim. Booked a time to swim, they stuck everyone in the smaller pool. Big pool was being used for fitness class. Poor planning hardly enough room for anyone to swim.

Negative experience: Never thought my 4 yr old daughter with health issues would be rudely kicked out of the Toldo Library at the Atlas Tube cause she wasn’t masked, meanwhile in all the programs we do there she never wears one. Then she’s so upset has a fit in the arena, thanks for destroying the spirit of reading for my child. Never been more disappointed in my life.

Negative experience: Hot tub is still closed after full opening. Still using capacity limits even tho they were stopped March 1st. Also making people pre register before arriving. That eliminates people from going because like me, I'm sure people just want to show up and take there kids swimming. Nice facility though.

Fantastic experience: To make a more serious review... it was good *role credits*

Fantastic experience: Outstanding !

Fantastic experience: My son plays hockey here, good people all around

Positive experience: Nice place

Fantastic experience: Although we only had time for one minor hockey league game the facility was very impressive. The staff and or volunteers were efficient in ensuring Covid protocols were were met, kudos. We were in awe, coming from Chatham, that a smaller community could have such a facility and wished ours could/would have done the same. It is actually embarrassing. Great thing for the younger generation you have.

Fantastic experience: Watched a game in the larger rink area (Rock). Very clean, nice venue. Best part was the temperature. It was very comfortable. Probably about 18c/66F.

Fantastic experience: Nice big, clean facility. The refs could use a little work but great venue.

Fantastic experience: Lots to do

Fantastic experience: Great local community centre. Beautiful pool, Arena, gym and more.

Fantastic experience: Been to Atlas Tube a few times. When Atlas Tube is open I reccomend swimming there. I have also been to a couple hockey games there which went quite well. There is also a library, however I have not personally been in the Library. Prices are alright as well. Highly recommend for when Atlas Tube reopens.

Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite local attractions to the Lakeshore area. The arena is modern, clean, the staff are friendly and attentive and it contains a banquet hall, indoor pool, splash pad, activity rooms, library, soccer fields and 3 ice pads. Great space for athletic intellectual and social, needs. Overdue update: The staff and officials are top notch. Welcoming, friendly, non biased and trustworthy.

Fantastic experience: Swimming pool, day camp and splash pad... family place

Fantastic experience: 乾淨舒適的比賽場所

Fantastic experience: Pekne prostredie a bazeny ale mat na par metrov 5 plavcikov je zbytocne.

Fantastic experience: Great new facility. Many arenas, ice rinks, dance rooms and more. It was renovated last year to add a swimming pool and splash pad. Many outdoor activities too such as soccer, basketball and a trail. There is even a library which contains the best books and lots of computers. There are many board games available so a great place for younger kids to relax.

Fantastic experience: huge facility 3 ice rinks a pool and much more very clean for the amount of people using the facility. friendly staff. was here for a hockey game, which our grandson team won the refs were not competent. 7 men on the ice, high stick, hooking, they did call 2 penalties

Fantastic experience: Great place to go for a run , it has a track. Also beautiful pool. The whole place is beautiful!

Fantastic experience: Excellent for the kids to enjoy a swin, skating and gym year round. On December 31st 2018 there is free recreational swimming, free skating and free gym time followed by the fireworks show !

Fantastic experience: Very nice new modern recreation facility.

Negative experience: My son had swimming lessons here, even after a friend has warned us to find somewhere else. Everyone in his class (swimmer 6) and everyone in the 2 classes before his failed. Not one child passed. They said he could do everything , but he had to do it 3 times and they only saw it twice. Last 2 classes were used playing around and not making sure the children were tested and ready to move on. So they say he must repeat. It can not be ALL the children were not capable, but maybe the instructors are not capable. Feels like a money grab. We went elsewhere and are now very happy. This review was done approx 5 months after the lessons were over. I am not writing it because it just happened and I am angry, but rather to let everyone know that there are much better facilities to go to for lesson. Too bad really nice pool. However we have only had good luck with the arenas and library.

Positive experience: Nice sheets of Ice. Not a lot of seating in smaller rinks. Very nice facility

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to work out. Excellent pool facilities and atmosphere! Is a place I frequent! Thanks for being there!

Fantastic experience: Very modern clean spacious facility! This community center set the bar higher and an example for others to follow. One of the best features for this facility is that it does an excellent job living in natural light and is very well-lit. A hockey rink A swimming pool A library An Event Hall Staff is friendly kind and helpful.

Positive experience: Very nice

Positive experience: Great place for family and friends. Nice place to visit with friends after a stressful day of work or school.

Negative experience: Not enough seating to watch games. Hallway is way too narrow which causes over crowding.

Fantastic experience: Played Roller Derby here.

Positive experience: I love playing hockey here

Negative experience: Eh

Negative experience: I held my daughter's birthday party here and unfortunately my experience was less then satisfactory. The facility was amazing but the staff and organization of the events was absolutely terrible. I tried to rectify the situation over the phone after the fact and was told someone would call me back with a resolution. This was a month ago and I am still waiting. Would not recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: A top notch facility! On two occasions we rented the hall for parties, the staff were helpful, the connected kitchen was clean and convenient and the drop down projector screen was a nice finish. We're looking forward to phase II.

Fantastic experience: This building is modern, spacious, clean, and airy inside. There are signs giving clear directions all over. There are soccer fields outside, ice rinks inside as well as a gymnasium, walking track, library, pool, and more.

Fantastic experience: Great ice arena, one of the nicest I've been at in 45 years of playing hockey. Top notch!

Positive experience: So far so good, can't wit for the pools to be open
