Domino Sugar operated a sugar refinery on the East River in Brooklyn from 1858 until 2004. It lay abandoned until 2012, when Two Trees Management Company bought it, and this summer it has opened as Domino Park. The park has green space, game courts, flowers, an interactive fountain, playground equipment, a fog bridge, and a dog run. The park incorporates structures from the historic factory, such as these sugar augers.
