A North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service spokesperson said: “A crew from York responded to a report of youths setting a fire on a bench near the pond.
“After through inspection the crew located evidence of an unsuccessful attempt to start a fire.”
It was the second similar incident in weeks. On Wednesday, 25 March, firefighters went to reports of a swing on fire at the play area.
And police arrested one youth and stepped up their patrols in Derwenthorpe last week, responding to reports of anti-social behaviour there.
