To deliver quality programs, parks, facilities and services for today and for the future, the  Park District of Highland Park has set a precedent of fiscal responsibility.  This is evidenced in part by the Aaa bond rating given again last year by Moody’s Investor Service.  In addition, since 1990, the District has consistently been awarded the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for its comprehensive annual financial report.

While the District continues to develop alternative non-tax revenue sources, such as grants, donations and sponsorships, it still relies on taxpayer support: property taxes comprise about 52% of District revenue.  Through careful planning and program development, along with fiscal responsibility, the Park District will continue to provide quality parks and facilities, while it addresses the future needs of the community.
