The “Woodside Park” referred to is probably the Woodside Park subdivision between Georgia Avenue and Colesville Road, north of Spring Street and south of Dale Drive in Silver Spring, MD rather than the “Woodside Park” shown on the map. The latter is an actual urban park, not a subdivision. It was established years after the WPA.
