The Better Business Bureau wants consumers to learn precautions to avoid scams and fraud. Scammers are getting more complex and are frightening senior citizens to give out information. A scam can ruin your credit for life. Remember that no government agency will call or email you; they will send a letter. Do not engage callers and don't answer your phone if you don't recognize the number.

Vibrant Park District

Vibrant Park District - 4:35
The Rockford Park District heavily engaged the community last year to find out what their wants and needs are along with what services they value. We want to make sure that we remain a vibrant and relevant park system but we also have some major financial challenges as the District's two main revenue streams, property taxes and fees has decreased over the years. The community has said loud and clear that neighborhood parks, playgrounds, youth programs, trails, Washington Park Community Center, arts and cultural programs, and youth programs are very important but in order to invest in those priority areas we have to reduce our footprint and find ways to bring in alternative revenue.
