Fat rockered skis are super trendy in the parks right now. Also gear talk

it depends on how/what you ride in the park.

That ski is a super good "one-ski-quiver". If you can only get one ski it would be a great choice. Not exactly a "park ski", though it will handle jumps very well.

you can ride any ski in the park if you really want to, but that is probably too big for a pure park ski. i would say anything up to 100 for a pure park ski, 100-115 for all mountain/one ski quiver, then 115 and over for pow skis is a (generally) good frame of reference IMO
I'm going to weigh in on this because I've skied everything from 82-127 in the park and am (slowly) coming to a conclusion.
115 + is a powder ski. They are skiable in the park, it's fun occasionally but for every day it's a lot of weight to be hucking around, makes it way harder to learn most tricks and I flat out am too scared to try some tricks I know I can do due to fear of not getting them round.
100-115 is manageable as an every day park ski if you ski a certain way. For butters/presses/surface swaps this is a perfect size, for spinning on and off rails and bigger spins on jumps, this is still a big ski. I am currently riding Line Sir Francis Bacons as a 1 ski quiver and finding them a lot of fun 80% of the time, but limiting when I want to try a small handful of tricks.
90-100 is the perfect pure park ski size for most people. Narrow enough to not limit your spin tricks but wide enough to feel stable on rails doing surface swaps etc. Best of both worlds for me.

Might as well go for some 140s (or just strap two snowboards to your feet)
