Greenspace is a voluntary non-profit NGO. Our main objective is to support the development and maintenance of urban open spaces in and around Windhoek. Greenspace’s vision is to establish, protect and manage an urban open space system for Windhoek, which links parks, recreation spaces, riverbeds, ridges, conservation areas and other potential urban open spaces. In line with this vision, Greenspace leases the Avis Dam and surrounds (almost 300 hectares) from the City of Windhoek. It manages the natural environment and human activities at the dam in accordance with a Management Plan that is approved by the City of Windhoek and Greenspace members.
