Kay Park, Urban park in Kilmarnock, Scotland
Kay Park is an urban green space in Kilmarnock with walking paths, picnic areas, and a central loch. The grounds include mature trees, open lawns, and several buildings, including the Burns Monument Centre with research facilities.
The park was established in 1879 through funding from Alexander Kay and reflects Victorian interest in public green spaces. The area also hosted reform demonstrations in 1816.
The Burns Monument Centre displays documents and personal items connected to Scottish poet Robert Burns. The space draws visitors interested in Scottish literature and its historical roots.
The park is accessible year-round and suits walking and outdoor relaxation. There are easy-to-follow paths and spaces to rest on benches or picnic areas.
A column structure near the entrance marks parliamentary reformers who organized protests here in 1816. This memorial points to important local political history that many visitors overlook.
