I'm about 5' 4'' and weigh 120 -130 and need to know what size is better for me. Is park ski length supposed to be longer or shorter. I'm deciding between 151 and 161.

Anywhere from 160-170 would be fine.

Go at least 175. Short skis suck.

short people can ski long skis and vice versa. do whatever you want. I would say 168-174ish at your weight would be good, weight matters more for driving a ski.
