The Galle
Face is a five hectare
ocean-side urban park, which
stretches for a half kilometre along the coast, in the heart of the financial
and business district of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The promenade was initially
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. The Galle Face
Green was initially used for horse
racing and as a golf course, but
was also used for cricket, polo, football, tennis and rugby.
