Parliament Gardens, Public garden near Parliament Building in Windhoek, Namibia.

Parliament Gardens is a public garden in central Windhoek featuring stone pathways that wind through planted areas and flower beds. The space includes shaded seating zones beneath trees and open lawn areas for visitors to enjoy.

The gardens were laid out in 1932 as the Tintenpalast gardens, named after the parliament building they adjoin. They took their present name after Namibia's independence in 1990. In 2016 the opening of Parliament was held here because the Tintenpalast had too little space after a 2014 constitutional change increased the number of parliamentarians.

The gardens host "Theatre in the Park" twice a month, run by the College of the Arts. At lunchtimes and weekends students lie on the lawns reading or talking, and the lawns are a popular spot for a lunchtime picnic. The three bronze statues of Hosea Kutako, Hendrik Samuel Witbooi and Theophilus Hamutumbangela flank the steps to the parliament entrance.

The gardens lie between the Tintenpalast and the Christuskirche in downtown Windhoek. They have been closed to the public since January 2017 for a bio-rehabilitation exercise; a 2022 petition to reopen them was unsuccessful, and they remained closed as of November 2025. Check locally before planning a visit.

The gardens feature monuments and sculptures that tell stories from Namibia's political history through artistic works. These outdoor artworks transform the space into something more than a simple recreation area.
