In the US we have a lot of these along trails in our national parks and
other public lands, usually where a trail transitions for
horse=yes/designated to horse=no so that horse riders can tie up their
horses and continue on foot.  These are referred to as "hitching posts" or
"hitch racks" (three posts connected about 1 meter above the ground with
three horizontal poles [typically])  People hitch or tie their horses (and
sometimes hobble). I have never heard a horse rider refer to "parking"
their horse.

Also, these are used for other pack animals, such as llamas and alpacas .
