It follows almost two years of work in the park as part of the organisation's environmental improvement scheme in the town and the wider area of Irvine.
The work commenced in Howard Park in October 2011 when the compound was opened in the corner of the park at Wards Place in order to allow contractors Black & Veatch to begin pipe-laying.
Around 450 metres of large sewers were laid across the park from Howard Park Drive to Waterside Street.
Elsewhere, the fences around the outside of the park have been painted, with the assistance of East Ayrshire Council's community payback section, in Howard Park Drive. The Dundonald Road entrance gates have also been refurbished with the Kilmarnock Burgh Coat of Arms, while the Lord Howden De Walden crest has been repainted in its original colours.

In addition, last December, Scottish Water and MBV planted three sycamore trees in Howard Park as part of its reinstatement work, while a further two are expected to be planted in the next few weeks.
Graham Wood, Scottish Water's Project Manager in Kilmarnock, said: "When we started this project we gave a commitment to East Ayrshire Council that we would leave the areas of the park where we have been working in the same condition they were in before our work began.
"Scottish Water has worked closely with the council during the period of pipe-laying in the park and we hope that the amenity of the park has been maintained and even enhanced by the reinstatement work that we have undertaken."
Scottish Water's £51m environmental improvement scheme – carried out across the Kilmarnock and Irvine areas – is due to be completed shortly.
