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 Clifton Park 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!”

Learn to Swim classes offered in July

The Town of Clifton Park will be opening the Town pools beginning on Memorial Day weekend and the popular Learn to Swim program will return with two sessions of classes. Historically, the Town pools open on Memorial Day weekend. The last two seasons were shorter than normal due to Covid restrictions and a smaller number of available lifeguards.

“The Town is fortunate to have dedicated lifeguards returning to work at our three Town pools, allowing us to open one pool on Memorial Day Weekend, said Supervisor Phil Barrett. We have operated the pools and provided swim lessons throughout the pandemic, when outdoor recreational activities for families were more important than ever.”

Registration for the pools will begin on May 17th. The schedule for each pool will be the following:

1. Country Knolls- May 29th- August 21st

2. Barney Road Pool- June 5th-August 21st

3. Locust Lane Pool – June 23rd-August 21st
