A picnic area is a designated outdoor space where people can gather to enjoy a meal, typically in a park or other natural setting. It usually includes tables and benches for seating, as well as grills or fire pits for cooking food. Some picnic areas may also have restroom facilities, playground equipment, or other amenities such as sports fields or walking trails nearby. The term "picnic" refers to a meal eaten outdoors, often in a social setting with friends and family. Picnics are popular during warm weather months when people can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine while they eat.
