Six picnic tables and a covered pavilion with an additional seven tables are located behind the Fort Necessity National Battlefield Visitor Center. There are no grills, and cooking is not allowed in this area. If you wish to do any grilling, use the main Fort Necessity Picnic Area.

Three tables are located right outside the back door of the Visitor Center next to the children’s playground.
