FOR GETTING LOST

DOMINO PARK PLAYGROUND, 300 Kent Ave., Williamsburg

perched on the edge of the Williamsburg waterfront, Domino Park Playground offers striking views of the Manhattan skyline, particularly at sunset. It’s one of several reasons why Ilana Wiles, a momfluencer and the author of the popular blog Mommy Shorts, says it’s a favorite play spot for her daughters, ages 8 and 11. The playground consists of a series of mini industrial structures—the Sugar Cane Cabin, which is made with reclaimed wood from the original refinery walls, the Sweetwater Silo, and the Sugarcube Centrifuge— that take kids on a journey through how sugar was refined at the old Domino factory. “If you are the kind of

parent who needs to follow your kid around on the playground, you are going to lose them in that convoluted structure fast, which is exactly why my kids love it,” says Wiles. And even if kids aren’t aware or don’t care that the stainless-steel slides mimic industrial pipes, they’ll be thrilled that they are some of the fastest slides around.
