      Where I grew up some called it a shopping lot

      As an American I'd say I've always used the term parking lot or parking garage (depending on which it was). Though I'm familiar enough to know that a car park is the same thing.

          I voted for parking lot though parking area inspires the same thing.

          Here it's much simpler, we only have one word for it, "parcare"

              I like Parking Lot. If you say Car Park I think of some place that you go with trees and look at cars. Where as a parking lot is a place you leave your car so people can steal parts of your car if not the entire car.
              If you want realism, sh*t on your foot.

                            It does! It has four wheels, and each of these wheels has its own boot; more commonly known as a tyre...

                            Edit: 3 or 4 wheels (thank you)
