Equipped with adequate facilities like basketball courts and playground park, the city boulevard serves as a tourist destination for every young and old to enjoy.

With the construction of two commercial buildings, which are now ready for occupancy, the complex also becomes a host to prospective locators who wish to do business in the area, augmenting the presently existing restaurants, bars, and several food and beverage peddlers. Extension is currently underway to extend the boulevard for another kilometer reaching the seaport of Galas making it a total of 2.6 kilometers.
