Place in which people are able to congregate
This article is about the general concept of a "gathering place". For the park in Tulsa, Oklahoma, see Gathering Place.
A gathering place is any place where people are able to congregate. Gathering places may be public; for example, city streets, town squares, and parks; or private; for example, churches, coffee shops, stadiums, and theaters.
Examples of gathering places include Stonehenge, the agora of ancient Greece, New York City's Central Park, and London's Trafalgar Square.
