Lawrence Park Township is Erie County’s only First Class Township, with a population of 3,741 in an area of 1.84 square miles, including WABTEC and the Lawrence Park Golf Club. A drive around Lawrence Park is a delight as the many parks, well-maintained homes and lake area are a pleasure to see any time of the year.

This small area nurtures a very strong sense of community in its residents as evidenced by their strong support of the schools and the wide range of community events – Fourth of July Parade activities and fireworks, Halloween Trick or Treat, Santa in the Park, and, of course, the Summer Recreation Programs in our playgrounds.

Lawrence Park has a well deserved reputation of providing a good, wholesome atmosphere in which to live and raise a family.  Good schools, playgrounds, supervised summer recreation and safety programs are just a few reasons why people are attracted to and stay in Lawrence Park.
