Getting to know Downtown Plano

Downtown Plano is a historic commercial and arts district with independent businesses around its older streets. Haggard Park, the Interurban Railway Museum and ArtCentre of Plano give the area a combination of public space, transportation history and arts programming.

DART rail access is part of the district’s modern setting. The commercial streets and nearby Haggard Park neighborhood have separate preservation contexts, so a downtown-area address should be compared against the applicable city map and designation.

Places to know

Haggard Park. A downtown green space with a gazebo, pond, playground and paths.

Interurban Railway Museum. A museum interpreting the area’s electric-railway history.

Downtown Plano Arts District. A district of galleries, performance spaces, independent shops and restaurants.

Check at the address, not the town name

  • Check the applicable heritage-resource overlay and design guidance before changes to an older building or property near Haggard Park.
  • Walk the path between the address, park and rail station and consult the current DART service information.
  • School attendance zones, flood risk, HOA obligations, utilities and property taxes follow the exact address. Use current records: TEA school district locator, FEMA flood maps, county appraisal districts.
