INTERURBAN RAILWAY MUSEUM

L

ocated 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.

Lessons, leagues and tournaments are offered on a regular basis for those wanting organized activities. For players not wanting a structured activity, many courts are open for reservations.

Registration

Tennis registration may be completed by using internet, in-person or by telephone starting Saturday, January 5. Please see “How to Register” information for detailed instructions.

Hours of Operation

Monday thru Sunday -- *7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. *Tennis Center opens at 9 a.m. from October 1 thru March 31.

The tennis center may close early due to inclement weather and/ or lack of court demand.

Court Fees

Court reservations may be made in person or by telephone at (972) 941-7170, option 5 between 9 a.m. and closing, Monday through Sunday. A person may have only one reservation at a time (you must finish your first reservation before a second reservation can be made).

Instruction

Teen-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 Tennis High 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!

Residents may register on-line beginning at 8 am on January 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.

OUR MISSION...

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

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

A comprehensive variety of recreational opportunities, structured and unstructured, are available to individuals regardless of race, socio-economic level, color, sex, national origin or ability. The community recreation program in Plano includes a cooperative venture between the City of Plano and the Plano Independent School District. This arrangement meets the requirements for recreation programs and facilities and conserves available tax dollars. In this manner, the leisure needs of every Plano citizen can be met at a comparatively low cost. Financial assistance is available for annual tennis passes, memberships and recreation course programs.

Please call 972-941-7155 for additional information.

Inclusion in many of our programs is possible for those with special needs. It is important that you contact Therapeutic Recreation at 972-941-7272, prior to registration, for details on how we can support your abilities, interests and desire to participate.

The City of Plano Parks and Recreation Department assures equal employment opportunity for all citizens without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age or handicap status. Full consideration will be given to the employment of all persons for jobs in which they are qualified.

PLANO STAGES Plano Stages, a division of Plano Parks and Recreation, is committed to providing the community with opportunities to enjoy quality music, dance, theatre and cultural events at any of our three publicly owned and operated performance venues: the Courtyard Theater, the Amphitheater at Oak Point Park and the Cox Building Playhouse.

The Courtyard Theater, recipient of the Greater Dallas Planning Council’s 2007 Urban Design award, was the first gymnasium built for the Plano School District. In 2001, the gymnasium was converted into the stellar, 325-capacity theater we know and love today.

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 www.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.
