Pioneers Park
Pioneers Park (also Pionierspark) is a suburb in the south of Windhoek, Namibia,[1] in the Windhoek West parliamentary constituency.[2] It was developed in the second half of the 20th century[3] as a white community, with the previous black residents being expelled to Katutura.[4] The suburb is mainly residential,[5] but also contains the main campus of the University of Namibia.[6] Other local facilities include a cemetery[7] and the Catholic Church of St. Boniface, built in 1928, which is now a national monument.[4]
It is also home to very strong citizen policing in the form of Pioneerspark Neighourhood Watch (PPNHW) with active patrols and CCTV monitoring.
