I don't think you can transfer to a park extension directly.  In other
words, you transfer to the parking lot ( default exten 700 ) and
Asterisk parks the call in whichever parking space is available.  Then
Asterisk reads back the number of the parking space.  On my system, with
700 as the park extension and 701-720 as parking spaces, I get the
message "Sorry, there is no call parked on that extension" if I try to
transfer to 701 which is what I would expect since it's only exten 700
which has the special park functionality.
