On Sunday, Brooklyn’s newest waterfront destination, Domino Park, will open to the public. Designed by James Corner Field Operations, the six-acre site extends from Grand Street to the Williamsburg Bridge, occupying the previously inaccessible stretch of land anchored by the hulking 19th-century Domino Sugar Refinery, a beloved neighborhood landmark. Following the SHoP-designed 325 Kent—the first residential building to rise on the 11-acre Domino site—the park’s opening is the second step in the area’s redevelopment plan, which includes a forthcoming mixed-use tower by COOKFOX, as well as the refinery’s transformation into an office campus.
Despite its ties to the gargantuan private development led by Two Trees Management—which will bring 2,100 market rate and 700 affordable housing units, 600,000 square feet of office space, and 200,000 square feet of retail to the rapidly gentrifying Williamsburg neighborhood— Domino Park will serve as a public amenity.
