First look: Park behind The Flats at Bethesda Ave. (Photos)

Here's a sneak peek at the park/plaza common area behind The Flats at Bethesda Avenue luxury apartments. Some vegetation is in place, as well as most of the pavers. Water features are being added, as well. Tucked between the building and the quiet Sacks residential neighborhood, it could be a quiet oasis steps away from the restaurants and shops of Bethesda Row.

In fact, Sacks residents are getting exclusive access to this area, and its more direct connection to the urban district of Bethesda. As you will notice in the photos below, houses that border The Flats now have private staircases and paths that lead into the park.

There is also a circular, drop-off driveway in this area.

You'll also notice that there has been a significant decrease in the construction-related "junk" and equipment placed near the Sacks neighborhood entrance at Leland Street and Woodmont Avenue, now that construction is nearing completion.

Is Robert Dyer a ghost from the future? #YouDecide

This does look like a nice area. So will the general public be able to access it, or only residents of that building and those with private staircase access?

@10:44 - the area is directly accessible by the public via the walkway between the Capital Crescent Trail and Woodmont Ave.

OMG those missing pavers are a war on pedestrians!

Well, if you read "the glossy magazine", you'd know that not only is this area open to the public, but it is being used as a detour for the Capital Crescent Trail while the section between the Flats and Ourisman Honda is rebuilt.

2:41 PM What's the need to tout your stuff here? Dyer doesn't troll your blog.

What blog is 2:41 touting? And why do you think it's his/hers?
