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!”

Blue Spruce Lane Sewer Update - May 24, 2019

The major work on Blue Spruce Lane has been completed and both lanes are open. Please be aware that while the trenches have been stoned and graded, they must remain in that condition for a while to allow for settling. The road will be swept on occasion to minimize dust. This work is part of the planned project that was to commence in June. Therefore, the larger project will not be as large as originally planned. More information will be posted on cliftonpark.org and this facebook page as soon as we have a construction schedule. Thank you to the people that live nearby for their patience and cooperation.

Blue Spruce Lane Sewer Update - May 21, 2019

The Town of Clifton Park Sewer District # 1 has experienced a main line failure on Blue Spruce Lane. Repairs have been difficult due to the poor condition of the pipe. At this time, flows are managed via portable pumps bypassing the remaining failed section. As we make preparations for additional repairs, please be advised that a full road closure of Blue Spruce Lane is expected most of the day Wednesday, May 22, 2019. It is expected that the main line will be restored to full operation at that time.

Additional work will occur all along Blue Spruce in June and July this Summer as the Town awards a lining contract to shore up the rest of the compromised lines on Blue Spruce. Please continue to watch this space for more information on the project as it becomes available.

The Town appreciates everyone’s patience as we address these serious issues. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Town Sewer Department at 518-348-7313.

Questions About Curbside Bulk Waste Pick Up

For several consecutive years the Town of Clifton Park conducted a curbside bulk waste pick-up for the benefit of its residents. The cost to the Town each year is over $100,000 and rising. After a lower participation rate in 2014, it was decided that the Town would provide this free service to residents every other year. The most recent bulk item removal was held in 2018 and it is expected to be offered again by the Town sometime in 2020.
