Clifford Township Community Park
The Park is located at 119 Cemetery Street, directly behind the Township Building. The 29 acre park offers a variety of recreational opportunities including more than a mile of walking paths, a baseball field, two playgrounds for ages 2-5 years and 5-12 years, a pavilion, basketball and pickle ball courts, soccer nets, access to the East branch of the Tunkhannock Creek for fishing, and plenty of open space for unstructured play. Benches and picnic tables are located throughout the park and heated restroom facilities are available year round.
Get Outside this Winter!
Get outside this winter! Enjoy the park. The paths are plowed so walkers can enjoy the quiet walks through the park and along the Tunkhannock Creek during the winter months too. Bring your dogs! Cross country ski or snowshoe next to the paths and check out the new pavilion!
The Multi-purpose Court

The Multi-Purpose Court is now open! The court was made possible with a DCNR Small Community Grant and over 130 hours of volunteer hours. There are portable pickleball nets and paddles available in a green container near the court. Handicapped access is available via cement sidewalks. Come and enjoy!
