In/at a car park.

Ex. I leave my car in/at a car park.

Which preposition (“in” or “at”) is used with “car park / parking lot”? I googled “in a car park” and “at a car park” and found a lot of sentences with both. Which is more common?

Thank you in advance.

Both prepositions are common in the US, although "car park" is uncommon. " Both prepositions work for both facilities, but "at" would probably win for the lot and "in" for the garage.
