Woodlawn Beach State Park
Woodlawn Beach State Park is located in Erie County, New York, U.S.. After a period of closure due to state budget constraints, since 2011 the park has been operated by the Town of Hamburg through a ten year partnership agreement with New York State.12 The "2010 Woodlawn Beach Sanitary Survey Report" completed by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation notes several potential bacteria sources which may affect the beach, including: sewage overflows, stormwater outfalls, urban runoff, contaminated stream drainage, and algae and leafy debris. Woodlawn Beach has been identified as the third most polluted swimming beach in New York State after failing 32% of water sample tests in 2011.3
