Social distancing' circles were also drawn on the park's green to encourage people to stay at least 6 feet (1.8В m) from each other, to control transmission of SARS-CoV-2. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, Domino Park expanded a composting program after the city's own composting initiative was downsized due to the pandemic.

The park was one of eight spaces nominated for that year's Urban Space Award hosted by the Urban Land Institute. ДЄs of 2020 the park had seen over 2 million visitors. To safeguard against future storms, the park is located on an elevation well above the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood elevation guidelines. Hurricane Sandy struck New York while the park was under construction in 2012. Reigelman wrote, 'The idea is that a child enters as raw sugar cane and exits at the last portion of the playground as molasses, or sugar cubes.' It is also partially built using reclaimed materials from the old refinery. Named Sweetwater Playground, it is designed to resemble the sugar refining process. The playground was designed by artist Mark Reigelman. At the southern end of the park are water jets making an illuminated dancing fountain display, shooting eight feet (2.5m) into the air.

All wooden structures and chairs in the park were built using reclaimed wood from the refinery. The crane tracks that were used in the original refinery now houses gardens with roughly a hundred different species of plants. ДЄn elevated walkway extends much of the length of the park, resembling the interior of the old refinery. In a move to shift the burden of upkeep to the private sector, a small restaurant will be opened, offering tacos made of locally raised beef, along with cocktails. The volleyball court is partially meant to pay homage to the historical Latino population of Williamsburg, with whom the sport is popular. The park features a children's playground, dog run, volleyball court, bocce court, and a playing field. Opened to the public in 2018, it is owned and operated by Two Trees Management, which spent roughly $50 million to construct it. The park was designed by James Corner Field Operations, which also designed the High Line, over the course of six years. Along the five-block riverside walk, various salvaged factory equipment is displayed, including four syrup collection tanks, that pay tribute to the history of the Domino Sugar Refinery. It spans a quarter mile along the East River near the Williamsburg Bridge, at the Domino Sugar Refinery site.
