The Marina Promenade was ceremonially opened by HE President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Prime Minister Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa and Chinese Foreign Minister, Hon. Wang Yi, on the 9th of January 2022.

The Port City Colombo Marina Promenade is the first major attraction within the megaproject to be accessible to the public. The opening ceremony coincided with two significant anniversaries for Sri Lanka and China; 65 years since the establishment of formal diplomatic relations and 70 years since the signing of the historic Rubber-Rice Agreement between the two countries.

A total of 89,540 people visited the Marina Promenade during the week from 10th to 17th January 2022.

A total of 91 hectares of land has been allocated for public use including 53 acres of green spaces, 2km of beach and 14 acres for a central park, along with walkways, waterways and park connecting paths.

The Marina Promenade is open between 9.00am and 6.00pm for the public and can be accessed through a special entrance located opposite the Presidential Secretariat. Vehicles are not  allowed at present and the public is encouraged to follow all COVID-19 prevention guidelines during their visit.

Port City Colombo is an extension to the commercial heart of Colombo – the Central Business District – spanning 269 hectares (ha) reclaimed from the sea. By building a world-class city; augmenting Colombo’s proposition as one of the best places to live, Port City aims to attract talent and investment to ensure a sustainable economic future by accelerating internationalisation. The multi-service Special Economic Zone status conferred by the recently enacted Colombo Port City Economic Commission Act positions Colombo is the ideal platform to leverage Sri Lanka’s geographical location connecting the East and West.
