The station remained closed until early 1990 when a complete restoration of the building was completed and the building was converted into a museum by the City of Plano. The museum exhibit contains many artifacts associated with the Interurban Line, as well as a history of Plano.

Museum hours are 10am-2pm weekdays and 1pm-5pm Saturdays. Group tours of the museum may be arranged in advance by calling 972-941-2117.

QuickStart TennisHigh Point participates year round in the QuickStart Tennis play format, a national program designed to help children learn, rally, and play quickly. Using shorter and lighter racquets, balls that are easy to keep in play, and court dimensions tailored to smaller players, youngsters from ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly. In short time, young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. In time, as students’ games improve and as they mature physically, they move to traditional rackets, balls and courts. QuickStart is a great way to introduce children to the great game of tennis!

Advancement from Course to CoursePlayers are encouraged to continue learning and playing through progressively more challenging courses. The goal is to have students playing tennis (in some form) as soon as possible. As a player improves, more course time is spent on point-play like situations. For children, the instructional/play sequence is: Beginner or Pee Wee I lessons (depending on age of child), Advanced Beginner or Pee Wee II lessons, and Future Stars or Pre Junior Development (Play and Instructional Programs), Competitive and Elite Junior Development. For Teens, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner I, Advanced Beginner II, Learn N Play, Future Stars, Competitive and Elite Junior Development.For Adults, the sequence is Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Learn and Play, High Point intra-facility leagues, Tennis Competitor of Dallas leagues and USTA Adult Leagues.

including: Internet, in person and by telephone. INTERNET REGISTRATION“You’re first in line when you are on-line”Actually, when registration begins each session, 750 people (or Internet connections) are allowed at one time. We found that if we allow more connections the Web pages load too slowly for even the most patient person. If you are not one of the first 750 connections you will get a message that reads “Leisure OnLine is currently busy due to high demand.” After the first 30 minutes of the start of registration the demand subsides allowing quick and easy access to the site. Residents may register on-line beginning at 8 am on March 5. Be sure to get an Individual ID and Family PIN by calling any of our centers. Please call prior to the first day of registration because heavy call volume on this first day makes it difficult to get through on the phone. You can also request this information by e-mail 24/7 in the “My Account” section of Leisure OnLine if the e-mail address matches the one on your account or e-mail customer care. Have your Individual ID, Family PIN, course numbers and credit card information ready when you log on.
