Zoo Park, Public park in central Windhoek, Namibia

Zoo Park is a public park on Independence Avenue in downtown Windhoek, Namibia. It has a pond, a children's playground, and a small open-air theatre. The landscaped grounds include the historic Zoo Café, which opened in 1916 and still operates.

The park was established in 1897 by German colonial authorities to commemorate soldiers who died during conflicts with Nama leader Hendrik Witbooi. The entire area was reconstructed in the early 1960s to make room for the expansion of surrounding streets.

The park's name recalls the zoo developed between 1922 and 1929, which was dissolved between 1958 and 1963. A monument has stood in the park since 1990 marking the 1961 discovery of elephant remains. The open-air theatre and Café Zoo, open since 1916, remain gathering places.

Entry is free and the park offers picnic spots and walking paths, with the historic Cafe Zoo available for refreshments. The sun in this region can be intense, so mornings and late afternoons are the best times to explore comfortably.

The elephant remains found here in 1961 were estimated at 5,000 to 20,000 years old, and the site is described as one of the earliest known elephant kills in human history. A monument has stood in the park since 1990 to mark the find.
