Alien boy is right.
In the us we call it the airport.
From the Wikipedia:
The airport ramp or apron is part of an airport. It is usually the area where aircraft
are parked, unloaded or loaded, refueled or boarded. Although the use
of the apron is covered by regulations, such as lighting on vehicles,
it is typically more accessible to users than the runway or taxiway. However, the apron is not usually open to the general public and a license may be required to gain access.
