ok before every single ski is suggested here, which does nothing for you, how about you give us some information

weight, height, type of skier, how much you ski park...then you will get a better feild of suggestions instead of everying saying all the skis they know of

dogens are super fun but i wouldnt get it as your only ski as its not really designed for anything. just messing around on. it has no flex points for butters and its too soft for all mtn but its not too soft for kickers and what not. but its fun as hell.

they are $419 at getboards
other info:

The Rossignol Scratch FS twin tip park skis are new and improved for the 2006 ski season. Built on a wider profile the new Scratch FS is even easier to stomp your tricks in the park. This twin tip ski has been designed by the Rossignol factory team and was voted their park and pipe pro model ski. The Rossignol Scratch FS twin tip Skis contain THC(Triple Hybrid Cor), RCE (Rocking Chair Effect), and 30 degree slanting sidewalls. The Rossignol Skis (THC) Triple Hybrid Core is made from three different materials. The first is isocore for liveliness and snap. The second is wood for response and ski/snow "feel". The last is microcell for shock absorption. The Rossignol Skis (RCE) Rocking Chair Effect is found on all Scratch model skis. All these models have softer flexing tips and tails and a stiffer mid-section. This allows the skier to load the tips or tails to spring up on a rail or boost out of a half pipe. This is also known as the "ollie" effect. The 30 degree slanting sidewalls are angled to improve swing weight, reduce the overall weight of the ski and enhance edging.
Features:
- Freestyle Structure
- Rossignol Skis THC Core
- Rocking Chair Effect
- ABS 30
- Fiberglass
- R7200 Base
- Twin Tip Rossignol Scratch FS Twin Tip/Park Skis
Dimension: 116-84-109

I'm the same weight as you and a few inches taller.

Dynastar Concepts in 165 should work, and should be cheap by now. Durability might not be so good, I haven't tested that out yet. No problem hitting lots of PVC rails and boxes though. I use them for teaching and days in the park, or when my balance is too bad to handle the Mad_Trix.

I have the old Mad_Trix in 163. Fun skis, shred all over the mountain, but they will kick your ass if you lose your balance. They are heavy. Very durable according to this forum. I use them when I expect rough/icey snow conditions or want to go fast. Haven't spent much time with them in the park yet.

If you can't affort the scratches, theres not much you can afford. Id say invaders because they are the cheapest park ski out there, but you seem like a beginner so i don't know if youd use its "butter features"
