Honestly speaking, there isn’t a huge difference between the term used for parking lots, and they are used interchangeably.
I would personally think that “handicapped” can sound more offensive than “disabled” so it may be better to name it as a “disabled parking lot”.

A disability keeps you from doing something that others can do, while a handicap limits your ability to do certain things.
Disabled = cannot do function
Handicap = can do function to a limited extent.
