If anything, you'll want them longer. If you're using the ski for strictly park, you'll probably want to center mount them, and they'll feel shorter since most skis are mounted back from center.
Here's how I pick out my park skis, I try to get the size closest to my height. If I can't find a ski that is even with my height I'll try and find the one that is closer, but I lean a bit more to the longer size if I need to. So, you're 5' 7" you'll want a 171 or something close to it, but you could go down to like a 166ish ski if you want, but it wont be as stable as the longer ski.

im 5'8 and just starting to do park skiing would 175's be too tall for me?
The taller the better (to an extent of course) I prefer somethign that is just as high as me (Im 5.9) or 1-2 cms higher. I have tried 164 before and yeah they were very fun but didn't have the pop nor the stability of the taller ski.
So many times I would under rotate a front, rodeo or misty and you just butter out from the landing where if you had smaller skis you'd eat shit. I find switch easier on taller skis too. All in all as everyone else said ^^^^^ the taller the better, and it looks steezier on rails

a fairly good chart right here.I like that it gives you a range. There really is a whole 15 cm of personal preference you have to factor in. For the most part though, the faster your're going, and the bigger the hits your going to do, the longer the ski you want to have under you.

Height in ft and in.
Height in CM
Length of ski you should use

so i’m about 5’8 and expected to grow to about 5’10 for next year. I’m debating between the 166 park skis or the 177s of the 2020 line honey badgers. Currently i have 155s and i’m decent at rails but can land a 540. What size should i get?
