Domino Park is a 5-acre (2.0 ha) public park in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It spans a quarter mile along the East River near the Williamsburg Bridge, at the Domino Sugar Refinery site.[1] Along the five-block riverside walk, various salvaged factory equipment is displayed, including four syrup collection tanks, that pay tribute to the history of the Domino Sugar Refinery.[2]

James Corner Field Operations, which also designed the High Line, took six years to design Domino Park.[3] Opened to the public in 2018, it is owned and operated by Two Trees Management,[4] which spent roughly $50 million to construct it.[5]
