The local government is the public authority entrusted with the task of protecting and promoting the welfare of the people and all facilities in the relevant jurisdiction. As one of the steps in this welfare work, sports fields are created by the local government body to protect the physical health of the people and provide public entertainment and cover the expenses for the maintenance, renewal and improvement of the sports fields created in this way. Those playgrounds are rented out.
As the public authority in the Welimada jurisdiction is the Welimada Pradeshiya Sabha, the following sports fields owned by the Welimada Pradeshiya Sabha are rented out by the respective local council schools according to the prices published in the gazette for the respective years.
