[Wikipedia] Parliament Gardens
Parliament Gardens is a small park in downtown Windhoek, Namibia. It is located between the Tintenpalast (Namibia's Parliament building) and the Christuskirche. It was laid out in 1932 and was originally called the Tintenpalast gardens, adopting its present name after Namibian independence in 1990.
Parliament Gardens contains Namibia's first post-independence monument: a bronze-cast statue of the Herero chief Hosea Kutako. Two other Namibian nationalists are also honoured with bronze statues in the gardens: Hendrik Samuel Witbooi and Theophilus Hamutumbangela. The three statues flank the steps up to parliament's main entrance.
The gardens used to be an olive plantation, and still include an olive grove. They also contain a bowling green lined with bougainvilleas along with a thatched-roof clubhouse. Twice a month the gardens host Theatre in the Park, run by the College of the Arts.
In 2016, the opening of the Namibian Parliament was held in the Parliament Gardens because of limited space in the Tintenpalast. Due to a change to the Constitution in 2014, the number of parliamentarians had increased significantly, and so joint sittings have to be held elsewhere.
Rough Guides describes Parliament Gardens as delightful, shady... definitely merit a stroll. The gardens are particularly popular at lunchtimes and weekends, when students laze on the lawns poring over their books or each other. They are also a popular place for a lunchtime picnic.

A Tourist's Guide to Windhoek, Namibia
I fly into Windhoek, the surprisingly modern capital city on Namibia. I wander along Independence Avenue to see the old colonial buildings and a meteorite memorial. Then head up Robert Mugabe Avenue to see the church, the parliament and the independence monument. I finish my tour by wandering the botanical gardens in search of a rock hyrax.

Third Constitutional Amendment Bill causes uproar
Tuesday afternoon a very concerned public made way to peacefully demonstrate at the Parliament Gardens in protest of the Third Constitutional Amendment Bill. Despite the community’s uproar, little attention was given to them in this regard.
Organizers of the event came to be very disappointed as the concerned community who did in fact attend, were the bare minimal of approximately 150.
In the meantime, a heated debate amongst concerned citizens regarding the Bill in the National Assembly continues. Prime Minister Hage Geingob addressed the masses on Wednesday at the Katutura Community Hall as to why these changes are necessary.
