Clifton Park is a suburban town in Saratoga County, New York, United States.

As such, it is the largest municipality in New York state east of Syracuse and north of Schenectady.

The Indigenous Mohawks and Mohicans referred to the area as Canastigione, meaning corn flats.

[13] The Grooms Tavern Complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

Interstate 87 (the "Adirondack Northway") and U.S. Route 9 pass through the eastern part of the town.

New York State Route 146 is an east–west highway through most of the center of Clifton Park until it takes a 90 degree turn southward, passing east of the hamlet of Rexford and then crossing the Rexford bridge into the Town of Niskayuna in Schenectady County.

There are many opportunities for youth involvement in typical sports teams such as football, baseball, softball, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, wrestling and hockey.

Clifton Park also periodically hosts the Babe Ruth World Series for boys baseball.

[16] The Vischer Ferry Nature and Historic Preserve, a 740-acre site in southern Clifton Park adjacent to the Mohawk River, features a network of walking trails alongside an original section of the Erie Canal and towpath.

The main campus of Shenendehowa Central Schools covers about 232 acres (0.94 km2) of property along the south side of NY Route 146.
