The story of Atlantis is the story of real community spirit in action. It's a story of a community, which pulled together to raise millions through its own efforts, to give the town of Oban a sports centre it could be proud of.
Behind the massive efforts of fundraising and generosity from the Oban public and the town's businesses, a small group of dedicated individuals devoted themselves to getting the Atlantis Leisure project up and running. These ten directors came together to form the Oban and Lorn Community Enterprise Company Limited. Negotiations with the council were concluded and the company took over the swimming pool on the 1st of October 1992.
Within a year the Atlantis Leisure Fund (ALF) was at a total of £335, 000, a significant part of the funding coming from North British Trust hotels as well as local fund raising including the buy a brick campaign. The National Lottery donated over a million pounds to the project to get it off the ground.
The name Atlantis Leisure came from a pupil at Oban High School who won a competition run in primary and secondary schools to come up with a name and a company logo. Seventeen year old Deirdre Anderson came up with the name 'Atlantis Leisure' and in recognition of that she was invited to accept the keys at the official handover from Willie Young, Argyll and Bute's director of leisure at the time.
A year on year programme was devised which in turn contributed to the success of our organisation. The 'vision' was to take the pool as it existed and build a sports hall in the gap site, to extend the children's play area, build a floodlit outdoor pitch and to modernise the remaining facilities.
In 1998 a new six-court sports hall, café, gym and health suit opened its doors. Since then there has been constant improvements not only within the building but also to the numbers of activities provided. Further building upgrades have included an all weather 5-a-side pitch, three level soft play and climb cube as well as pool plant upgrade and a new bio-mass boiler behind the scenes. At present the centre is heavily fund raising for a new play park and an upgrade on outside facilities. Have a look at our timeline to see everything thats been happening over the last twenty years!

its like a second home to my kids. brill well used and needed facility in oban. great staff always.
What a fantastic leisure centre! Visited from Dunoon and were very impressed with the huge range of facilities and activities on offer. Wish we could have stayed longer. : )
Took my granddaughter to junior play sport she loved it can’t wait to go again tomorrow.
Spend a lot of my time here.....great facility and really friendly staff :)
My favourite place, feels like a second home.
Brilliant facilities and staff and welcoming to everyone, old, young, fit or unfit. A credit to Oban
Awesome for the kids and adults. Gym and swim on a regular basis. We have used the facilities nearly ever other day for years and have never had anything to complain about, always kept clean and updated regularly.
Been using this centre for about 17 years now and in the last 10 years I think I have been visiting this place nearly everyday! With 3 young hyper boys I don't know what I would do with out it.some thing for the youths of Oban and adults too!
My kids use all the facilities here and I would say with out it the kids of Oban would have no fun!
The staff and coaches have a great approach to the children in there play sports and camps.
Yes there are things that need improved but in time I'm sure they will. This is not a private buisness, it relies a lot on funding and grants
INCREDIBLE CAKES!!
A wonderful place which has given my family and myself great pleasure over the years. Not bad food either.
