Park Districts
Park District Advisory Committees
 As the Town of Clifton Park has
grown so has its many neighborhood parks. Locating parks, playgrounds, ball
fields and tennis courts within neighborhoods and developments has been a
long-standing Town priority. Residents enjoy convenience and accessibility,
greatly enhancing their quality of life. To insure the local parks continue to
meet the needs of the neighborhoods they serve the Town has created "Park
Districts". It has been Town policy to create local Park District Committees in
order to provide for neighborhood control and decision-making.
Residents within a Park District pay a small annual Park District Levy (tax) on
their yearly tax bill, to support and maintain their neighborhood park. In order
to provide for the on-going needs of the neighborhood parks and to oversee
 the expenditures of park funds for
regular maintenance such as grass cutting, painting of playground equipment,
spring clean-up, lighting, fencing and signage, each Park District has a Park
District Advisory Committee. The Committee is comprised of residents from the
neighborhoods contained within the Park District. In 1995 the Town Board
assigned the following duties to the Park District Advisory Committees; to
regularly assess and monitor recreational issues within the Town, insure all
park facilities are open and useable, to hold regular meetings* (check meeting
dates on the Community Calendar) and communicate with Park District residents
concerning district activities, including budget items. The mission of the Park
District Advisory Committee is to ensure the effective and efficient operation
and maintenance of its' parklands and equipment to the benefit of the district
residents. The Town Board has final review of all park initiatives, but values
park committee input and guidance.
