Tucked away in Silver Spring, Maryland, lies the historic Woodside neighborhood. Woodside Dam, a significant landmark, is a testament to the area’s rich past. Woodside, established in 1889, stands as the oldest neighborhood in Silver Spring. It’s bordered by Georgia Avenue, Spring Street, 16th Street, and the Washington Metro’s Red Line. Woodside is nestled alongside Woodside Park and North Woodside. It also brushes against the vibrant Silver Spring business district. Woodside developed concurrently with other communities situated along the B&O Metropolitan Branch, like Takoma Park, Kensington, and Garrett Park. Within Woodside, you’ll find the expansive Woodside Urban Park. This 2.3-acre recreational haven, renovated and expanded in 2010, offers a tranquil escape. Picture yourself enjoying a picnic, watching children play, or admiring the bronze statue of a unicyclist. The park also features tennis courts and a refreshing water fountain, a stark contrast to the bustling Georgia Avenue nearby. Woodside is also home to the Woodside United Methodist Church, formerly the Sligo Village Methodist Church. Its journey to its current location is a fascinating tale. In 1872, the church was built on donated land. However, its proximity to the Washington Woodside and Forest Glen Railway prompted a move. In 1897, the entire church building was placed on rollers and pulled by horses to its current spot at the corner of Spring Street and Georgia Avenue. Another landmark, the Montgomery County Health and Human Services building, occupies the renovated site of the former Woodside Elementary School.
