picnic blanket

Park seating cloth

A picnic blanket is a large blanket or mat spread on the ground for sitting during outdoor meals.

Unlike regular blankets, picnic blankets often have a waterproof backing to protect against damp grass: We spread the picnic blanket under the oak tree.

The term evokes leisurely outdoor dining in parks or countryside.
