"Lady's Walk in Howard Park commemorates the grief-stricken walks taken by the young widow of The Earl of Kilmarnock who was sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered in London in 1746, later commuted to beheading. His widow sadly died a year after his execution. [cite web | url = http://www.corbett5.freeserve.co.uk/auldkillie.htm | title = Lady's Walk - Howard Park | accessdate=2008-05-08]

The land which makes up the Howard Park was given to Kilmarnock by the Howard De Walden family. In the background you can see the Saxone shoe factory which was situated in Titchfield Street. This factory has been replaced by the Galleon Leisure Centre. The leisure centre opened in 1986. This replaced the Corporation Baths which had been open since 1940.
