Built in 2003, the original playground at Liberty Park was built over five days with the help of 900 community volunteers and fundraising efforts across the community, including events at Hirsch Elementary. Representatives from the local Timber Lane Utility District, which helps to oversee the park, said that over 2500 meals were served to volunteers at that time.

However, on a Sunday morning in June 2023, the playground burned to the ground. The Harris County Constable launched an investigation and it was determined that an unknown suspect set fire to the grass and playground equipment.

Through a joint effort with Timber Lane Utility District, Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey, and other fundraising efforts — as well as support from Bears Playgrounds, Astro Fence, Champions Hydro-Lawns, and Agilent Security — the park’s playground was rebuilt, completing construction in December 2023, reopening to the public in February 2024.
