Named after the Grand Parade, where soldiers trained during the encampment of the Continental Army at Valley Forge, the Mini Grand Parade is a flat and open grassy field located behind the Visitor Center at Valley Forge. The field contains wooden bench seating along the edges, and some trees planted for shade.
Adjacent to the Mini Grand Parade is the administration parking lot, a covered pavilion with some additional seating, trash and recycling receptacles, and a water fountain. Nearby is the entrance to the Meeting Room at Valley Forge, the doors to the upper floor of the visitor center, the Theater at Valley Forge, and the park administration building (not open to the public).
