entrance gate
Where visitors arrive
An entrance gate is a gate that serves as the point of entry to a property, venue, or enclosed area.
The term emphasizes the gate's function as the way in, often implying a main or formal access point: We met at the entrance gate to the fairgrounds.
Theme parks, stadiums, and gated communities typically have designated entrance gates separate from exits.
