car parks

Where drivers park

Car parks is the British term for what Americans call parking lots—designated areas where vehicles can be left temporarily.

The term applies to both outdoor lots and multi-story structures: The car parks near the stadium fill up quickly on match days.

In American English, these are parking lots or parking garages.
