parked = park (transparent) = park + ed

The adjective is a standard past-participle/participial adjective formed from the verb 'park' with -ed; learners can infer 'left/stopped' from the base verb.

Etymology

Parked comes from park, which long ago meant an enclosed area for animals or a private garden — a 'safe place' to keep things. That's why a car is parked when you leave it standing in one place for a while.
