Town Buildings Closed to Public Access

Those wishing to make an appointment may call the Town Hall at (518) 371-6651. Their call will either be directed to the appropriate department or they may leave a message.

Town Parks Remain Open

The Town has a large and expanding parks and recreational network for everyone to enjoy throughout the year. Many parks are conveniently located within our neighborhoods. Many people are home and the early Spring weather has led to an increased use of our park facilities and trail network. Preserving these vital outlets for recreation and exercise is especially important during this stressful time period.

Together, we can use the park facilities safely by following all CDC guidelines and New York State edicts regarding social distancing. Guidelines such as not congregating in groups and not participating in recreational activities that involve team play. The Town has thousands of acres of public recreational property. Please use discretion when visiting one of our parks.

A Message for Seniors from Supervisor Phil Barrett

Last week the Town of Clifton Park put out a call for volunteers to ensure there was a list of people that could be called upon as the Town expanded services to our senior population. Thank you to everyone that is assisting the Town’s efforts and the many people in Town that are assisting their friends and neighbors.

Clifton Park is a wonderful community. However, we want our seniors to stay home. It is vital they know that the Town is here to help if needed. We do not want them to be in a position where they need to leave their home unnecessarily.

The daily lunch program continues from the Clifton Park Senior Community Center, delivery only, and the Town has been making deliveries to seniors that need supplies. Please call the Supervisor’s Office at 518-371-0083, the Clifton Park Senior Community Center or email me directly at This email address is being protected from spambots.
