Legislative intent. Jerome Park has been used for numerous park purposes over the years and is intended to have additional uses in the future. Jerome Park was formerly used as a wildlife sanctuary in the Harris Park Annex bordering on Goulden Avenue north of Gatehouse Five at the Reservoir and directly across the street from the Bronx High School of Science. This area is the future site of an outdoor urban ecological study area, an area dedicated to community and school gardens and ecology experiments such as composting, wind and rain precipitation measurement, and seed and cutting propagation. It will be accompanied by tables and benches for outdoor eating and classroom and lab instruc- tion sessions. The Fort Independence Park, part of Jerome Park in the northwest side, is presently used, and will continue to be used, as a playground, basketball and handball courts, running track, and an archeological-geological mound. The perimeter of the Jerome Park Reser- voir will be the future site of a path for the purposes of walking and jogging. S 2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law, that tract of land known as Jerome Park Reservoir, more particularly described in section three of this act, shall be dedicated as parkland of the city of New York. S 3.
