Ajalooliselt on Galle Face Green olnud Colombo keskne kogunemiskoht, kus on toimunud erinevaid üritusi, alates traditsioonilistest festivalidest kuni avalike koosolekute ja pidustusteni. Park on koduks mitmele ajaloolisele mälestusmärgile, sealhulgas Galle Face Hotelile, mis on üks Sri Lanka vanimaid hotelle, mis lisab sellele piirkonnale koloniaalse võlu.
Külastajad saavad Galle Face Greenis nautida välitegevusi, nagu tuulelohede lennutamine, jooksmine ja päikeseloojangut ookeani kohal vaatamine. Parki lähedus olulistele vaatamisväärsustele, sealhulgas Colombo Fort, teeb sellest mugava ja populaarse koha turistidele, kes tahavad uurida Colombo kultuuri ja ajaloolisi kohti.
Galle Face Greeni külastamiseks on parim aeg õhtul, kell 16.00 kuni 18.00, kui ilm on jahedam ja külastajad saavad nautida suurepäraseid päikeseloojangu vaateid. See on linnakeskusest kergesti ligipääsetav ja kohustuslik sihtkoht neile, kes tahavad kogeda Colombo ranniku ilu ja elavat kohaliku kultuuri.
