INTERURBAN RAILWAY MUSEUM

Located 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 10am to 2pm weekdays and 1pm to 5pm 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. 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.

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.

SO YOU WANT TO SIGN UP FOR A COURSE?Great! We offer several convenient ways for you to register

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 3. 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. Once logged on, you can shop, pay and print your receipts from your own computer. www.planoparks.org*Non-resident registration begins at 6 am on March 5.
