Pickle Island
About
Pickle Island serves Sri Lanka as a sports pitch set within the Arcade at Independence Square in Colombo 00700.
A 4.6 out of 5 average from 34 reviews places this Colombo sports pitch among the better-reviewed spots of its kind in the city. Colombo sits on the island's western coast, and the main resort towns of Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay lie a drive or a train ride away, so a pitch session fits easily into a wider tour. Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages, with English widely used in administration and tourism, which makes arranging a visit straightforward for overseas guests.
Independence Square, where the venue stands, is a central Colombo landmark and the arcade setting keeps it within easy reach of the city's main roads. Sri Lanka's tropical climate brings two monsoon systems that rain on different coasts at different times, so the weather in Colombo rarely matches the weather in the east or south on the same day.
National parks such as Yala and Wilpattu hold Asian elephants, sloth bears and leopards for travellers building wildlife stops around a city stay.
