The former professional, who co-coached Myrtleford to three AWFA cups and two league titles, relocated to Queensland midway through the year and has taken the reins of Sunshine Coast Football foundation club Woombye Snakes for 2021.
Park was president of Myrtleford this year and was set to coach the senior men with Jayden Vescio for a fifth season, but opted to make the move to the Sunshine Coast after the AWFA competition was cancelled for 2020.
He played a handful of matches at Sunshine Coast club Buderim before he applied for the position at Woombye after the season.

"It wasn't really the plan (to coach again), I thought I'd take a break," Park said.
"The setup is really good and they've just formed an academy with a technical director, they've got an assistant manager, team manager and pre-season friendlies locked in, so everything was kind of ready to go."
Woombye has won four grand finals since 2009, the most recent which came in 2016, with its last league title in 2015.
President Andrew Kinden said it's exciting news for the club to get Park on board.
"He'll come in not knowing anyone which is probably a good thing and he'll start from scratch with players," he said.
Meanwhile, former Murray United coach and Twin City star James Coutts has been named in the Football Queensland Premier League Team of the Season.
Coutts coached Logan Lightning to the title this year, after he departed at the end of 2017 for Gold Coast United, but returned to Victoria to coach North Geelong Warriors midway through 2018 until the end of 2019.
