Neighborhood Description A FEW WORDS ABOUT WOOD ACRES...Built by Albert Walker's Wood Acres Construction Corporation from the early 40's to the mid 50's, Wood Acres has earned a well deserved reputation as one of Bethesda's finest communities! The consistency of the Colonial brick architecture, combined with the towering mature trees and the gently rolling terrain makes for a picturesque setting. The school district of Whitman/Pyle/Woodacres Elem. is one of the Nation's best, and the community park located adjacent to the Elementary school is a natural gathering place for the neighborhood. Community life and neighborliness is encouraged through the efforts of the Wood Acres Citizens Association which sponsors numerous events throughout the year. The Great Pumpkin and Santa arrive at Halloween and Xmas gatherings to delight the children. The Fourth of July Parade and Celebration, held each year since 1958, turns out over a thousand residents in the streets and at the Park enjoying home made floats, games and rides. Finally, a Spring Newcomers Party and occasional House and Garden Tour round out events for the adults. In short, this is a place to live where people are truly "neighbors", where homeowners actually know one another and enjoy sharing a common interest and care for their community. Over the years, the community has been the home to many neighbors who made their mark on Washington. National security advisor Brent Scowcroft, Senator Ron Wyden from Oregon, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Redskin kicker Charlie Gogolak, NBC correspondent Steve Handelsman, weather man Tom Kierein, reporter Mike Buchanan, CBS defense analyst Jim Stewart, activist Gloria Steinem are just a few who recognized the intrinsic value of Wood Acres.
