surface lot
Ground-level parking area
A surface lot is an outdoor parking area at ground level, as opposed to a parking garage or underground structure.
The term emphasizes that vehicles park on the surface rather than in a multi-story building: The arena has a surface lot across the street.
Surface lots are common near stadiums, airports, and urban businesses where land is available but structures aren't warranted.
