After a slow start to his season-long loan, Parks found his rhythm as spring turned to summer and earned a place in coach Dome Torrent's starting XI 14 times after June 29.

In total, Parks made 22 MLS appearances as a central midfielder for the Cityzens, registering a goal and an assist before an injury sidelined the Plano, Texas, native late in the campaign. He did return to make one playoff appearance.
