Your right! I am not quite sure of the exact years it was there but I believe it was in the 1890s. You have more info?

Jerome Park Race Track (1876 - 90) was named for one of its founders Leonard W. Jerome.
 
Jerome Park Reservoir was built in 1906 as part of the Croton system supplying the city with mountain water, and it covers 94 acres with a capacity of 773,000,000 gallons
