Parliament Gardens- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Parliament Gardens, located in the heart of Windhoek between the Tintenpalast (Namibia's Parliament building) and the Christuskirche, is a serene park with historical and cultural significance. Established in 1932 as the Tintenpalast Gardens, it was renamed after Namibia gained independence in 1990. The park is home to bronze statues of key national figures, including Herero chief Hosea Kutako, Hendrik Samuel Witbooi, and Theophilus Hamutumbangela, commemorating their contributions to Namibia's history. The gardens also feature an olive grove, a bowling green surrounded by bougainvilleas, and a thatched-roof clubhouse. Known for hosting "Theatre in the Park" events twice a month, the gardens are a peaceful space for relaxation and cultural engagement, and in 2016, they served as the venue for the opening of the Namibian Parliament due to space constraints in the Tintenpalast.
