Windsor Terrace Streets

- August 04, 2025

It seems like I didn't take a video for this walk. If I did, it's been deleted.

I wanted to finish the streets in Windsor Terrace between Prospect Park and the Expressway. I didn't expect this to be a long walk but there was a lot of back and forth and then I decided to walk to the D train, which was farther than I thought it was -- even though I've walked this route a few times already!

First up was Windsor Place, starting at the subway exit near Prospect Park West. That ends when it hits the park where it turns south. I turned west onto Terrace Place. (Get it? Windsor Place & Terrace Place?). Then a quick turn up Sherman St, which has a small court named Horace Court. I almost missed it. I tried taking a picture over the fence at the dead end, but I just got trees.

From there I turned left down 11th Ave for a couple of blocks and then reversed back to Sherman, which I took up to 10th Ave. Heading southwest on 10th Ave for two blocks brought me to 17th Street where I took another left and headed southeast back to Terrace Place. I don't remember exactly where I saw the pickup truck. I think it was on 10th Ave.

Terrace was a zigzag to 18th Street and head back to the park. From the park, it was a quick block to Seeley Street. That's a street from when I was a kid. My dad knew a guy (and his family) who lived just off the park, either on that first block or on Temple Court. (It might've been the corner.) The reason I remember Temple Court (not the name but the block) was that I remember it ending with a fence but I could see the rest of the street past it. Of course, it wasn't a street on the other side -- it was someone's driveway. But it looks like it should just go through. I also remember Seeley because there was an "intersection" where you had to go down a flight of steps to get to the cross-street, which I'd never seen before (as a kid). Seeley Street has a bridge over 17th Street.

Down 18th Street to Vanderbilt (which I've done before) down Prospect Ave to Reeve Place, which I took to the park. Once I was on Greenwood Ave, I have to do a north-south trip up and down Sherman Street. The streets are angled strangely here, fitting in between the Park and the expressway (and the cemetery beyond) as the neighborhoods change their shapes.

At some point, near the end of Windsor Terrace, I encountered a City Park that I guess was so boring that they just named it "Park". I wonder if you can buy naming rights...

Once I was done here, instead of getting an "F" train (if I could find the station again), I walked around the cemetery to 9th Ave and 39th Street. It was longer than I remembered it being, but I should've guessed I'd be walking more than 20 blocks, even if I was walking at an angle.
