Pionierspark Hochland Park was established in the late 1960s at the place where Windhoek's
Old Location, a
township for black residents, used to be. Blacks were evicted from this township by force when central Windhoek grew too close to the area. A new township,
Katutura, was established far away from the city centre. The eviction faced severe resistance by the black community. On December 10, 1959, apartheid police attacked a protest gathering, killing 11 people and wounding 44. This day became known as the "Old Location uprising".{{cite web In 1968 the Old Location was officially closed and whites began to settle. Today, blacks who participated in the liberation struggle and became economically successful after independence often make a political statement by taking up residence in Hochland Park, the area they had been chased away from by the whites. Many ministers and high government officials and the inspector-general of the Namibian police today live in Hochland Park.{{Cite news ==People from Hochland Park==
