The park will be located on the territory of the former refinery. Particularly remarkable elements of it will be preserved: for example, 178-meter taps and large reservoirs containing sugar syrup. Plus, it is planned to conduct hiking tours, telling about the sugar trade in New York, which has more than a century of history.
From the quay, which stretches for 400 meters along the East River, will open a panoramic view of Manhattan. The park will stretch from Second South Street (South 2nd Street) to Grand Street. It will have a Japanese pine garden, a picnic area, a food court and a beach with shaded lawns and sun loungers.
In Domino Park there will also be a separate space you can just meet friends and sit with a view of the river; In addition, they will equip playgrounds for volleyball and petanque, dog walking, and a field of 500 square meters for various sports games. The former factory itself will become an important part of the project: inside there will be offices, public spaces and coworking.
