This area is notable for hosting several significant institutions, including the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, the Trinity College Rugby Stadium, the Sri Lanka International Buddhist Academy (SIBA), and the PALK Seismic Station.

This facility is utilised to host a variety of cricket matches, including international men's and women's contests, matches from the Lanka Premier League, club cricket, and inter-school competitions.

These events are organised under the auspices of Sri Lanka Cricket, the owners of the stadium.

By dismissing Chris Gayle of West Indies, Sri Lanka's Suranga Lakmal became the third bowler to take a wicket with the first ball bowled in a Test match at a new venue, joining Kapil Dev of India and Imran Khan of Pakistan.
