How it's used
While 泊車場 is widely understood, many locals simply use the English loanword 車場 or the more specific 停車場. Using 泊車場 sounds slightly more descriptive, emphasizing the act of parking rather than just the facility itself. It is common to hear people refer to the location simply by the building name followed by 車場.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 泊車場 with 停車場, though they are interchangeable. Note that 泊車 is a verb phrase meaning to park a car, so you might hear someone say 我去泊車, but you would never say 我去泊車場 to mean the act of parking.
