Kilmarnock House in St.Marnock Street, Kilmarnock, became the residence of the Boyds after an accidental fire gutted Dean Castle in 1735.
The house was later occupied by the Earl of Glencairn, and from Rambles Round Kilmarnock, "Kilmarnock House is now converted into an Industrial Ragged School, and in it many poor children who have lost their parents, and others who would otherwise become waifs of society, find a home".
The Park was formerly part of the grounds of Kilmarnock House, and was given to the town in 1892 by Baroness Howard de Walden.
