  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A transmission gear selector position that mechanically locks the drivetrain, preventing the vehicle's wheels from rotating. In an automatic transmission, this is achieved by engaging a parking pawl, a metal pin that fits into a notched ring on the transmission's output shaft. The park position is intended for holding a vehicle stationary on level ground and is not a substitute for the parking brake, especially on an incline.",
