Welcome to the Town of Clifton Park
Clifton Park is a suburban town in Saratoga County, New York, United States. According to the United States Census Bureau, the 2010 population was 36,705.
The name is derived from an early land patent. The town is in the south part of the county and is located approximately 12 miles north of Albany, 7 miles northeast of Schenectady, and 10 miles south of Saratoga Springs. Recognized for our outstanding quality of life, smart growth practices, numerous parks, extensive recreation programs, a 15 mile trail network, the Clifton Common sports complex (host to a variety of national, state and regional tournaments), the excellent Shenendehowa School System, an active Shenendehowa Senior Community Center and emerging business centers, we are a model growth community. Clifton Park has preserved and restored significant historic sites, such as the Grooms Tavern, and has acquired, protected, preserved and purchased development rights on over 1000 acres, balancing our rural roots with innovative residential designs and twenty-first century economic development in New York’s Tech Valley. Clifton Park remains true to its motto: “Clifton Park – A Great Place to Live, Work and Play!”
Clifton Park Idol Registration Open
On Saturday, February 9th, the Town of Clifton Park will be holding it’s 29th Annual Winterfest Carnival. As part of events surrounding Winterfest, there will once again be an opportunity for local youth to participate in Clifton Park Idol. This celebration of singing affords an occasion for youth ages six to seventeen, to perform in front of their friends and family in a fun and relaxed setting.
Sitterly Road Project Update
Over the years the Town of Clifton Park has been extremely successful in seeking out and winning grant awards. By leveraging these grant awards, the Town has been able to make numerous additions to our open space and trail systems while also improving our infrastructure.
Currently the Town is managing 18 grant projects totaling $10.2 million. One of these projects is the Sitterly Road Improvement Project being implemented in partnership with the Town of Halfmoon. After the completion of the project, drivers on Sitterly Road will benefit from two interconnected traffic signals at Sitterly and Crossing Boulevard, and Sitterly and Woodin Road. In addition, new turn lanes onto Crossing Boulevard and Woodin Road will alleviate traffic backups during busy times.

Remember to Stop on Red, Kids Ahead
Recently there has been a lot of reporting in the mainstream media and discussion on social media about the inherent dangers involved in passing stop school buses. As part of our continuing “Check Your Speed” initiative in Clifton Park to raise awareness about traffic safety we felt now was a good time to remind drivers about the rules involved when a school bus stops with flashing red lights. The following is taken directly from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles Driver’s Manual.
