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!”

Town Storm Response - November 14, 2018

The below picture was taken in the wee hours of the morning as the Town of Clifton Park was mobilizing to respond to this surprise storm. Our trucks were out at 4:30am. The Highway Department has been fielding complaints this morning about Grooms, Kinns, Crescent, Vischer Ferry, etc which are not Town roads. Municipalities in New York's system have local roads, County Roads and NYS Roads. Today is another example of how we have too many layers of government and duplication of services in NYS.

Check Your Speed

We have all experienced and witnessed aggressive driving and people travelling in our neighborhoods above the speed limit. When speaking to my colleagues who represent various municipalities or law enforcement personnel, I consistently hear them detail how speeding and aggressive driving has become worse over time.
