The
Galle
Face
Urban
Forest
Park
and
the
Beira
Lake
Open
Air
Restaurant
were
built
on
the
direction
and
guidance
of
President
Gotabaya
Rajapaksa
and
Prime
Minister
Mahinda
Rajapaksa
with
the
target
of
creating
a
beautiful
environment
that
encompasses
a
network
of
urban
forest,
water
parks,
and
green
infrastructure.
This
has
been
implemented
according
to
the
national
policy
framework,
‘Vistas
of
Prosperity
and
Splendor’.
The
Galle
Face
Urban
Forest
Park
and
Beira
Lake
Open
Air
Restaurant
are
located
a
short
distance
away
from
each
other,
where
one
could
enjoy
a
delectable
meal
and
stroll
towards
the
forest
park.
The
Beira
Lake
Open
Air
Restaurant
consists
of
food
outlets
within
convertainers
that
offer
a
varied
choice
of
food
and
beverages.
Seating
is
under
the
stars
and
as
day
turns
to
evening,
the
lights
switch-on
creating
a
surreal
atmosphere
and
views
of
Beira
Lake
creates
a
cooling feel.
With
trees
planted
sporadically,
it
will
soon
become
a
space
to
dine
under
lush
greenery.
Facing
the
Galle
Road
and
the
ocean
farther
away,
the
Galle
Face
Urban
Forest
Park
is
lush
and
green
with
trees
and
foliage
placed
in
sections
presenting
a
neat
and
symmetrical
appearance.
At
the
center
lies
a
corridor
made
of
red
beams
with
surrounding
water
features
that
signifies
the
water
park
area
of
the
urban
forest.
Families
with
young
children,
fitness
enthusiasts
and
those
finishing
work
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
gather
at
the
urban
park
to
either
engage
in
fitness
activities
or
to
simply
enjoy
the
surroundings
and
unwind.
The
beautifully
laid
paths
are
ideal
for
walking
and
a
mini
workout
space
with
machines
have
been
installed
for
exercise.
As
the
sun
recedes
into
the
evening
skyline,
the
lights
are
switched
on
simultaneously
and
the
water
show
begins.
The
entire
urban
park
takes
on
a
magical
appearance
with
mist
filling the
air
and
music
playing
in
the
back-
ground.
Lights
and
colors
are
alternated
as
the
sound
of
water
from
the
water
feature
fills
the
air.
The
water
show
is
indeed
the
first
of
its
kind
in
Sri
Lanka
and
thus,
provides
a
unique
entertainment
while
enjoying
the
peacefulness
of
the
surroundings.
After
a
busy
day,
the
Galle
Face
Urban
Forest
Park
as
well
as
the
Beira
Lake
Open
Air
Restaurant
provide
spaces
to
chill-out
and
relax
while
enjoying
the
natural
beauty,
lush
greenery
and
magical
aura
of
the
water
show.
Water
Show
daily
from
6.30pm
onwards
