There aren't really any options unfortunately. www.blackriver-ramps.com make the best parks in the world but they're incredibly expensive. Pretty much everyone else has to make their own, or buy a set of ramps and arrange them like a park.
Do this! I have been fingerboarding for a few years so my collection has gotten big, it's so I have a ton pf ramps and obstacles arranged like a park which is much better than an assembled park because you can make a new design out of them every day That's what I do, it keeps things fresh!
Check out www.blackriver-ramps.com as well as aphlikshun fingerboards.com, the two best companies to get professional, top quality fingerboard items

^^ that's so true, even making your own park is good because it only costs materials, Or make a cardboard park, that's what I'm building up to do, Gonna be sick!
making one yourself is the best option if you're not up for paying Blackriver-Ramps park prices, but BRR parks are fantastic quality, so its really up to what you're looking for. I made my park myself:
With 12mm ply, hardboard, a hand saw, sandpaper, wood glue, and a bit of cardboard. Oh and I brought the halfpipe from BRR which I got for like £40 as I'm good friends with the company.
if you'd tell me the sorts of things you'd be interested in, and the size, I could maybe design you a park if you want to make one yourself. I love designing parks so I'd do it for free.

The best thing is to buy a bunch of obstacles, because that way you can rearrange them to make the park new and exciting every time you use it. Blackriver ramps makes the best fingerboard ramps on the planet. To have a park with some structure and flow there are a few things that are very helpful:
2 Quarter pipes. One for each side so the park has set endings and he can board back and forth without interruption.
A large piece for the middle as sort of a focal point. This is something that the rider can go back and forth over and it usually is very versatile in what you can do with it. Some good BRR obstacles for center pieces are the D-Rex Ledge, Euro Gap ( my favourite), or the Streetplaza Dos.
Then is where you can buy a few smaller obstacles like Iron rails and boxes or picnic tables. My recommendations are the Iron rail, picnic table, Jay Ramp and box 3, all from Black River Ramps.
