Police said they took 10 people home to "blissfully unaware parents".
Officers said most of the parents were "cooperative" but some "will be having their tenancies looked at by local housing providers."
Earlier this month, the ECHO reported how increasingly vile behaviour at Norris Green Park was making people "fear" using their local beauty spots.
A number of fires were set in the space of just ten days, destroying play equipment and youths have reportedly been ripping out trees and "destroying everything".
People have also claimed on social media a number of fires were set just last week.
One user of the park, who did not wish to be named, previously told the ECHO : "It's horrible. This park means so much to so many, a lot of work has been put into it and people are going to be scared to use it."
Another said: "I am apprehensive over letting my child play here, the few ruin it for the many."
Today a spokesperson for Merseyside Police said over the weekend officers attended the incidents reported and dispersed a group of young people, where a number were also detained and take home to their families.
They added police have also met with local businesses, stakeholders and partners in the council and have a range of tactics planned in the coming days to tackle this issue.
Community Policing Inspector Sarah Rotherham said: "We simply will not to tolerate unacceptable anti-social behaviour and we will continue to take action to make sure that everyone can feel safe where they live, work and shop.
"We understand how concerning such incidents are for residents and businesses alike. I’d like to reassure our community that we are stepping up high-visibility patrols and doing all we can to ensure that everyone can feel safe where they live.
"Going forward, we also have a number of options available to tackle such behaviour, including dispersal zones and plain clothes officers on patrol. Where we receive reports of anti-social behaviour, we will not hesitate to take action.
"I'd also ask the parents or guardians of our young people to know where they are and ensure they are not involved in any such incidents. When appropriate, we will speak with parents and guardians if we suspect that young people in their care are involved, but we need to work together to prevent such incidents happening.
