forecourt

Area before entrance

A forecourt is an open area in front of a building, especially one serving as an entrance or gathering space: the forecourt of a palace, the hotel forecourt.

In British usage, a forecourt is also the paved area of a petrol station where pumps are located.

In tennis and similar sports, the forecourt is the area nearest the net.
