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. 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.

| - Los Jardines del parlamento es un pequeño parque en el centro de Windhoek, Namibia. Está situado entre el Tintenpalast (el edificio del Parlamento de Namibia) y la Iglesia de Cristo. Se diseñó en 1932 y se llamó originalmente los jardines del Tintenpalast, adoptando su nombre actual después de la independencia de Namibia en 1990. Los Jardines del Parlamento contienen el primer monumento de Namibia después de la independencia: una estatua de bronce del jefe Herero Hosea Kutako. Otros dos nacionalistas namibios también son honrados con estatuas de bronce en los jardines: y . Las tres estatuas flanquean los escalones de la entrada principal del Parlamento. Los jardines solían ser una plantación de olivos, y todavía incluyen un olivar. También contienen un boliche verde forrado con buganvillas junto con una casa club de techo de paja. Dos veces al mes los jardines albergan el "Teatro en el Parque", dirigido por el Colegio de las Artes. En 2016, la apertura del Parlamento de Namibia se celebró en los Jardines del Parlamento debido a la limitación de espacio en el Tintenpalast. Debido a un cambio en la Constitución en 2014, el número de parlamentarios ha aumentado significativamente, por lo que las sesiones conjuntas tienen que celebrarse en otro lugar. Rough Guides describe los Jardines del Parlamento como "encantadores, sombreados... definitivamente merecen un paseo". Los jardines son "particularmente populares a la hora del almuerzo y los fines de semana, cuando los estudiantes se tumban en el césped mirando sus libros o a los demás". También son un "lugar popular para un picnic a la hora del almuerzo". (es)
- 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." (en)
