drop zone
Parachutist's destination below
A drop zone is a designated area where something is released from above—originally military, referring to where paratroopers land or supplies are air-dropped: The platoon assembled at the drop zone.
The term extends to skydiving landing areas and, more casually, to any spot designated for depositing things: The mudroom is the drop zone for backpacks and shoes.
