parking pad

Driveway parking surface

A parking pad is a paved or graveled area on residential property designated for vehicle parking, typically located in front of or beside a house.

Unlike a garage or carport, a parking pad offers no overhead coverage—it's simply a flat, durable surface: We added a parking pad next to the driveway for the second car.

The term is common in real estate listings and urban planning contexts.
