Domino Park

 * ...that one of New York City's newest parks was partially built using industrial materials from an abandoned sugar factory?
 * ALT1:...that much of Domino Park is made of reclaimed materials from the historic Domino Sugar Refinery?
 * ALT2:...that Domino Park cost $50 million to build, over six years, and was predominantly made from reclaimed materials from the Domino Sugar Refinery?
 * Comment: This is a brand new park in New York City. All the features you see there are reclaimed materials (see references within the article), but obviously some things like the cement pavement and lawn were not scraped from the neighboring sugar factory. This is why I used the wording "predominantly", for the purposes of a hook. Please feel free to suggest better wording, if need be. Any variation of the three suggested hooks is good by me. I prefer one of New York City's newest parks and abandoned factory (as opposed to Domino Park and Domino Sugar Refinery). Again please advise, many thanks!

 * Yeah, it's a little confusing! The It is also partially built... is referring to the Playground. One paragraph up talks The crane tracks that were used in the original refinery now houses gardens..., and All wooden structures and chairs in the park were built using reclaimed wood from the refinery. Then from the lead, various salvaged factory equipment is displayed (the artwork, large syrup collection tanks, etc.). I guess I could include the references in this nomination, probably would have helped ;) So the word "predominantly" I think is appropriate, but "much of" works too. What do you think? &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  14:39, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry! I missed your response here! I would think that "much of" would be more accurate.  Nomader  ( talk ) 20:00, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I prefer the original proposed hook, which I can't word nicely using "much of", so I just changed "predominantly" to "partially". Feel free to propose another wording. Thanks for your help! &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  15:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks! For hook movers: the ***original hook*** is approved in this case, the ALTS are still not. Great work!  Nomader  ( talk ) 17:13, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
