I have seen very few parking lots that did not have too many lamp poles, if the lamp poles are located mainly around the parking lot and you are flying a smaller plane you will most likely be fine.
However, colliding with a lamp pole will likely be the end of your plane.
I would opt to fly in a ball park or other playing field that a parking lot. Also, grass will absorb a crash a lot better than pavement should you crash.
