They were called to the park to a bonfire firstly at 10.11pm with one engine at the scene.
However, a spokeswoman said there was "no risk to persons or property and a responsible adult was in attendance so no fire service action was required".
Crews attended nearly three hours later to attend to a quantity of rubbish being on fire.
The spokeswoman said: "We were also called shortly before 1am after reports of a quantity of rubbish on fire, this was extinguished with a high pressure hose reel.
"Crews were only there for 15 minutes."
Meanwhile, the fire service shared footage of them tackling a blaze on Warrington Road, Rainhill.
