About Domino Park

Domino Park sits on the East River waterfront in Williamsburg and occupies the former site of the Domino Sugar Refinery. The park honors the workers and families who labored there over many generations. Visitors can relax by the water, play volleyball or bocce, let children explore a factory-themed playground, or stroll a long elevated catwalk supported by columns salvaged from the old Raw Sugar Warehouse. Domino Square hosts seasonal events, including an ice skating rink in winter and a Sunday farmers market in warmer months. Salvaged factory equipment, such as syrup collection tanks, is displayed along the riverside walk.
