In Australia these places are rarely used for cars. There are plenty of them, 
and in any town there will be at least one or two of these areas with "self-
storage sheds". Some people will store cars in them, but you can store 
anything non-explosive there. You cannot live there.

So I like the landuse=garages rather than amenity=parking.
While landuse=garages is very specific,
because parking is too specific we would then have to have a landuse="sheds" 
or "storage_sheds" to describe something that looks identical from the 
outside.
