The victim's mum told how her son is too traumatised to go back to Whatriggs Primary in Kilmarnock, yards from the park. She said: 'It broke my heart how scared he was.'
The lad of ten who made the threat was traced and will be reported to authorities. His younger pal was also identified as it emerged the weapon he pulled from a bag was a toy replica.
The horror on May 11 comes amid growing concerns over youth knife crime after 16-year-old Kayden Moy was allegedly stabbed to death at Irvine beach, Ayrshire, ten days ago.
The latest victim's frightened mum claims one of the two tearaways had previously threatened to stab her child.
She told The Scottish Sun: 'My son told me that a few weeks earlier, the wee boy who had the knife said to him in class, 'I'm going to stab you. I've got my big brother's knife'.
'Then, that Sunday, my son was out with two friends and two boys pulled out a knife each and threatened them.
'My son phoned me crying, saying, 'They have blades'.
'He sounded terrified. His voice was trembling. He said, 'They had a knife each and they've got it out at the park'.
'I kept him on the phone and his dad drove to the park. He was telling me, 'Mum, I'm terrified'.'
The primary age louts fled when the boy's dad arrived and the parents called the police.

They also contacted Whatriggs Primary — where it's claimed the boy has been the victim of bullying — the following day but claim their concerns haven't been taken seriously. The mum added: 'My wee boy didn't want to go to school in case they took the knife out again.
'He had said to me, 'What happens if they bring it in their school bag?'
'We were in the car when the radio came on about Kayden Moy having been stabbed. Then there was a notification on my phone that he had died.
'My son said, 'That could have happened to us last week when we were at the park'.'
The boy's father added: 'It's terrifying to think kids as young as nine are roaming the streets armed with weapons.'
Police Scotland said: 'A boy, aged 10, will be reported to the relevant authorities.'
East Ayrshire Council said: 'All reports of bullying are taken very seriously by the head and her team.'
We told how a boy of seven recently allegedly took a blade in to Heathfield Primary in Ayr to attack another pupil.
Two boys, 17, have been charged with murdering Kayden. Another lad, 16, faces a murder bid rap over another alleged stabbing at Portobello beach, Edinburgh, a day earlier.
