Step outside and explore Clifton Park’s beautiful natural preserves this summer! Our 2026 Summer Saturday Guided Hikes invite residents of all ages to enjoy fresh air, scenic trails, and a relaxed walk led by knowledgeable guides who will share insights about local landscapes, wildlife, and seasonal highlights. These hikes are a great way to reconnect with nature, meet neighbors, and appreciate the outdoor spaces right here in our community. Join us on a Saturday morning and discover why Clifton Park’s preserves are worth exploring, one step at a time!

The Town of Clifton Park, together with the Historic Preservation Commission, is committed to protecting and preserving the Town’s history. The Clifton Park Historic Preservation Commission is a volunteer body appointed by the Town Board with the purpose of preserving and enhancing Clifton Park’s historic resources. They provide technical assistance to owners of historic properties, advise the Town Board and Planning Board on matters of preservation and educate the residents of Clifton Park on the treasures of their heritage. The Commission meets at Historic Grooms Tavern at 7:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. Town residents interested in serving on the Commission can contact us at parksrec@cliftonpark.org.

As part of our Arbor Day celebration, the Town offers a free tree seedling to all Clifton Park families who have had a baby born between Arbor Day 2025 (April 25) and Arbor Day 2026 (April 24). Families can register with the Office of Parks and Recreation, located in Town Hall. Submit a baby photo with the registration form to be displayed in Town Hall during the spring. The week after Arbor Day, parents can come to Town Hall and pick up a free seedling tree to be planted on their property as a “birth tree” for the child. The hope is that these trees will grow up with the child and add to the child’s appreciation of nature and the conservation of wildlife.

Deadline for registration is April 13, 2026.
Applications are available at Town Hall or online here
