OUR MISSION...The nationally accredited Plano Parks and Recreation Department operates under the following mission:

Enriching Plano through parks, facilities, programs and resource stewardship.

The Recreation Division accomplishes this by providing relevant and outstanding recreational opportunities through quality service,

programs and facilities.

Director’s WelcomeWinter is a remarkable season in Texas. One day it’s cold and icy and the next is a balmy 70 degrees. I routinely hear the stories of how Winter REALLY is from relocated Texans who have discovered the joys of our mild season which provides unique outdoor opportunities. One employee, who moved from Michigan, was proclaiming the greatness of being able to be out on the lake any time of year! For many, this is the season to head indoors. For those that understand that there is no bad weather, only bad clothing (outdoor retailers can thank me later) there is an abundance of beauty in our parks this time of year.

This season also brings a surge of visitors to our indoor facilities and programs. The resolutions that accompany the New Year include those who have set their sights on better health and wellness and those that want to learn new skills and hobbies. Our life enriching programs include 7,000 different opportunities from which you can choose. Don’t like to commit to a certain time and date or need additional flexibility? We offer punch cards for adult fitness classes and aquatic fitness classes so you can participate when it fits your schedule.

If you prefer self-directed activities, consider purchasing a recreation membership. For one low fee, you gain access at all of our award winning recreation centers and pools. Month-to-month memberships start at $49 for a family, $19 for adults, $15 for ages 60 and better, or $11 for youth (see page 2 for membership information). For the cost of going to a movie and having a snack, you can provide health and fitness to yourself and/or your family for an entire month!

However you decide to enjoy 2015, we hope you take time to enhance your life so you can do the same for others. Come visit our facilities and see why Plano Parks and Recreation is consistently recognized as one of the best departments in the country. We look forward to seeing you soon!

VOLUNTEERING

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.

“No one is more cherished in this world than someone who lightens the burden of another. Thank you.” -Author Unknown

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.
