Director’s WelcomeSpring is a time of new beginning signaled by the awakening of nature after winter’s slumber. In North Texas, some of my favorite visual cues start with the blooming of the red bud trees followed by the bluebonnets and other wildflowers. Around this same time I start watching for my barn swallows to return from Mexico. These little birds can entertain with their acrobatic flying and construction of cup shaped mud houses on my porch. While these birds make a mess, it seems to be a fair tradeoff for all of the insects they consume until they depart for Mexico in the fall. Signs of the season are all around us and there is no better place to enjoy the changing seasons that in one of our beautiful parks. To help you learn about and enjoy the outdoors, cruise over to page 37 and take a look at some of the new Outdoor Adventures programs. Just like spring, these courses are signaling the start of something new in Plano. The Oak Point Park Nature and Retreat Center will be completed soon and will feature an abundance of ways to enjoy getting outside and away from it all without leaving city limits. How about taking a yoga class outdoors? Or learning more about the endangered monarch butterfly? Want to take a camping trip, learn to fish, or watch stars? Come see what is happening and join in on the fun! Not the outdoorsy type? Well consider these scientific reasons that getting outside is good for you.

1. According to a study from the University of Michigan, group nature walks are linked to enhanced mental health and positivity, as well as significantly lower levels of depression and feelings of stress.2. A study from Glasgow University showed that people who walked, biked, or ran in nature had a lower risk of poor mental health.3. According to a study published in Psychological Science, interacting with nature gives your brain a break from everyday overstimulation, which can have a restorative effect on your attention levels.4. Researchers at Tokyo’s Nippon Medical School found that women who spent six hours in the woods over the course of two days had an increase in virus- and tumor-fighting white blood cells, and the boost lasted at least seven days afterwards.

Watch for the grand opening of the Oak Point Park Nature and Retreat Center in late spring/early summer. We would love to introduce you to the park and all that it offers!Amy FortenberryDirector, Plano Parks and Recreation

Hours of OperationMonday thru Sunday -- *7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

InstructionTeen-Adult classes have a minimum of six students and a maximum of ten students per class. Youth classes have a maximum of eight students. Pee Wee classes have a maximum of six students. To avoid cancellation of a class, a class may “make” with less than six students, but with a reduced number of sessions. Classes at the same level and similar age groups may be combined at the discretion of High Point staff. Any group of two or more players may schedule a special class by contacting High Point staff at (972) 941-7170.Group lessons are very popular and some classes fill very quickly. To assure a continuous chain of instruction, it is recommended that students enroll for multiple sessions at the time of initial registration. For example, a student should enroll for a Beginner session in the first session, an Advanced Beginner I group in the second session, and an Advanced Beginner II group in the third session.

10 & Under 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 ages 5-10 pick up the game very quickly. Many young players are able to keep the ball in play and play points just like older and more experienced players. 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.
