New waterfront recreational public space has opened in New York on an 11-acre site that once housed the Domino Sugar Factory. Owned by Brooklyn-based Two Trees Management, Domino Park gives the public access to the South Williamsburg Waterfront. The site includes many reclaimed materials from the former factory, including reused wood from flooring and cylindrical tanks.
The park includes a five-block long Artifact Walk at the north end of the site, which integrates more than 30 largescale pieces of salvaged factory machinery along the waterfront, as well as 21 columns salvaged from the Raw Sugar Warehouse. Additionally, the Artifact Walk features approximately 585 ft of crane tracks, which are incorporated into the design of the park, as well as four 36-ft tall cylindrical tanks that collected syrup during the refining process, mooring bollards, bucket elevators, and various dials and meters from the factory with original signage.
