The new aquatic centre completes Phase II of the Atlas Tube Centre and contains a 25m lap pool, recreational pool, lazy river and therapeutic pool along with a viewing area and party room. Large sliding doors open to a Splashpad overlooking the soccer fields outside.

Mayor Tom Bain stated “Opening of the WFCU Community Pools & Splashpad brings to Lakeshore the pool the community has always wanted for so long. This is a great day for Lakeshore.”

The Town of Lakeshore`s Windsor Family Credit Union Community Pool is made possible with a $17.3 million grant from the Federal Government of Canada, $17.3 million grant from the Provincial Government and generous support from Windsor Family Credit Union.

Also featured in Phase II is new tennis and basketball courts, in addition to a 5km multi-use trail.
