    This park has some space. Also lot of green here. Ocean is close-by. Good place to take children. Parents can be relaxed here. Few things available kids for play. Also lot of ground available for sporting activities. Parking available here. Wheelchair accessible entrance also available. But no wheelchair accessible parking available.

    Tourist attractions in the city Sri Lankans throw garbage into the sea I often see people throwing it away Good place apart from that. The barbarism of throwing garbage into the sea and rivers This country has such a culture I don't think there will be any development. Enrich your children's education I want the country to develop.

    Galle face beachside is one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. All the best hotels in Sri Lanka are located near this. There is a sports ground near the beach. The most beautiful, free beach screen.

    Galle Face is a 5 ha (12 acres) ocean-side urban park which stretches for 500 m (1,600 ft) along the coast, in the heart of Colombo, the financial and business capital of 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.

    If you're someone who loves the sea, then you'll definitely want to check out this place. It's the perfect spot to admire the stunning beauty of the Indian Ocean, and there are plenty of options for Street foods whenever you get hungry. You can easily reach this location by train, bus, or taxi.

    Gallface Beach is a popular beach located in Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka. It is known for its scenic views of the Indian Ocean and is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. The beach offers a relaxing atmosphere, and visitors can enjoy activities like strolling along the sandy shores, picnicking, or simply taking in the ocean breeze. It's also a great place to witness beautiful sunsets over the water.

    The surrounding is calm and serene. Basic facilities like washrooms, drinking fountains and play area needs to be improved. One of the few outdoor play areas left in the vicinity.

    Good place to spend some time with outdoor sports. Specially basketball. A basketball court is present with needed facilities. And a childrens play area. In my point of view its good. But it would be better if they had improved the basketball court.

    This is a wonderful place that you can find in such abusy City like Colombo.It drags my heart and thoghts to far a distance with the fascinating scenes of sea and the horizon.The most eyecatching and freezing moment is coming here in the early morning.The high standing buildings that lined up the galle face beach are like pillars of forbidden gate. This place will bring you to a marvelous experience. Dont get late to visit this.

  • 5/5 CHACHOCHE 3 months ago on Google • 34 reviews New
    Beautiful view of Indian ocean. Most famous beach park in Colombo. Normally very crowded in weekends & public holidays specially in evening. It's very amazing sunset in evening. Parking a vehicle is very difficult in those days & you have to pay for parking. Street foods are not very hygienic in here. Nice place to play with your childrens & relaxing.

  • 5/5 Shenaya E. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Crowded but wait until the sun sets and you'll be able to experience such a serene view. (Check the last photo) Recommend sitting in the wall and trying ice cream or isso wade (very poor in hygiene tho) Great place to get lost in thoughts 10/10

  • 4/5 angule d. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place to hangout and enjoy the sea. Although it's very hot in the day time. There are many shacks where you can get fast food and fish fry near the beach. It's easy to come out of the beach and directly take a tuk tuk to go anywhere in the city

  • 4/5 Navaneethan R. 5 years ago on Google
    Not a natural beach but protective arrangements and viewing gallery makes it attractive. Seating arrangements and neatly maintained area makes it worth visiting.

    This is the observation deck beside the coast. There is the walking street and it's very nice to take a walk. And there are some shops on the street and they serve shrimp and crab fries. You should try them when you come to Sri Lanka.

  • 3/5 Karthik G. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jayasanka D. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place for the children to walk around and play. Open until about 7pm. Have a small jogging track of about 300 meter. Basketball court and a small ground with grass. no seperate parking, one have to park along the road to the park. Road get busy in Sunday mornings due to Sunday Fair.

  • 3/5 P C. 5 years ago on Google
    Not bad for what it is. Not really a "children's park". More of an open area (pretty well taken care off grass wise) and flat area for kids to run and play. Also has a basketball court. Has some kids stuff like swings and merry go rounds-but looks pretty old and rusty. Ok to come and walk around and get some fresh air

  • 2/5 Sidath De A. 4 years ago on Google
    Good only for walks or a jog since they have a jogging path. Have a basketball court too but the children's play area is not maintained at all. Pathetic as its maintained by DMMC.
