The Galle Face is a 5 ha & x28;12 acres& x29; ocean-side urban park, which stretches for 500 m & x28;1,600 ft& x29; 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
