About Galle Face Green

The Galle Face Green in Sri Lanka is a five-hectare ocean-side urban park, which stretches for a half kilometer along the coast. This area is now considered the largest open space in Colombo and one of the main highlights of the city. It is an extremely popular destination for many people including children, vendors, teenagers, lovers, kite flyers, merrymakers and all those who want to indulge in their favorite pastimes next to the sea under the open sky. The area was initially put to plan and laid out in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, although the original Galle Face Green extended over a much larger area than is seen today. We assume no liabilities for your safety. Please exercise caution and responsibility.
