Usually, "parking" is used either as a verb (I am parking the car) or as a gerund (your parking is nauseating). Probably, grammar-checker did not recognize it as an adjective and thus had a small fit. Of course, there are many other situations where grammar check is blatantly wrong (often times involving subject-verb agreement in a complex sentence featuring inversion such as the ones I use nearly contantly), which is why you should never just assume that grammar-check is right. It serves more as an indicator to point out stupid mistakes (which even I make).
