The money for its purchase was bequeathed to the town of Kilmarnock by former native insurance broker Alexander Kay who died in Glasgow in 1866, after whom it is named.

The park opened on 9th August 1879. A product of the Victorian appetite for recreational green spaces amidst growing industrialisation, it was formerly the home of a miniature golf course, a few drinking fountains, pubs, boating in the pond and a band stand on the site.
It is also home to a Burns Centre and a statue of the poet.
