Park with a large brick building with 3 sections of the refinery, one of the vestiges of the industrial activity

Domino Park is further proof that Brooklyn has become a champion in the art of recycling former industrial spaces into entertainment venues. The park was established on the site of the former Domino refinery, one of the best-known sugar brands in the U.S. (you'll find little bags of Domino sugar on the tables of every New York diner and coffee shop!). After 148 years in business, the factory closed in 2004 and the park, whose architect is none other than James Cormer, also behind the High Line in the Meatpacking District, opened in summer 2018. It stretches over 5 blocks of street and combines urbanism, relaxation and nature to perfection, with green spaces, deckchairs on which New Yorkers come to lounge on weekends in fine weather, volleyball courts and a food truck serving tacos. The centerpiece of the park is The Refinery, the historic building that once housed the refinery and which has been completely renovated, recognizable by its magnificent glass roof. As with his work on the High Line, the architect was keen to incorporate industrial elements that once belonged to the refinery into the design of his park. In all, there are some thirty individual parts, such as the four enormous tanks, once used to collect sugar in its liquid form, which rise from the ground at 3rd Street level. A resolutely Brooklyn location!
