Interurban Railway MuseumLocated in downtown Plano, the Interurban Railway Museum is housed in a building that served as a primary stop on the Texas Electric Railway that ran from Denison to Dallas beginning in 1908. On December 31, 1948, the Denison to Dallas Interurban made its last run.

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 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Group tours of the museum may be arranged in advance by calling (972) 941-2117. There is no entrance fee; however, contributions are greatly appreciated.

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 6 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.

The Amphitheater at Oak Point Park, a beautiful, 1,200-capacity bowl-style venue, is tucked deep into the heart of Plano’s 800-acre Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve. The “Plano Amp,” as it is locally known, houses major concerts, cultural festivals and special events of all kinds. The Amp’s picturesque and open-air setting makes it an ideal location to enjoy an evening of entertainment. The Cox Building Playhouse, a 90-capacity black-box style space, is a versatile, state-of-the-art venue used by local performers and touring acts, special performances and meetings. Calendars for all three venues can be found at planostages.com. Each one of these handsome and well-maintained spaces is available for rent by the general public, non-profit organizations and corporate groups. For more information, please call 972-941-5611.
