Liberia Park

A Glimpse Into History

Liberia Park's story stretches back to the early 1900s, when it emerged as a haven for Beaumont's African American community during segregation. In 1927, something significant happened here - a swimming pool was built specifically for Black residents who weren't permitted to use other public pools around town.

Even after desegregation, this pool remained a popular gathering spot for the Black community until it was finally demolished in 1981, marking the end of an era but not the park's importance.

Fun for the Little Ones

Today, you'll discover both a standard playground and a water playground that caters to kids of various ages. While the historic pool is gone, the modern water playground offers a refreshing way for children to beat those scorching Texas summer days. The regular playground equipment gives kids plenty of space to climb, swing, and let their imaginations run wild.

Perfect for Gatherings

Need a spot for a family get-together? Liberia Park features shelter and covered picnic areas that make outdoor meals and community events much more comfortable, rain or shine.

Set in southern Beaumont, the park is easy to reach for nearby residents. We particularly appreciate the shady areas - they're excellent for taking a breather and enjoying a quick lunch on those pleasant Texas afternoons.

Recreation Options

If you're in the mood for some exercise, the park's basketball court is ready for a casual game or some solo practice shots.

Just a heads up about parking - it's somewhat limited, with street parking along the roadside being your main option. Despite this minor inconvenience, Liberia Park remains a space where people come for recreation, relaxation, and connecting with neighbors.
