You can cut your existing poles to desired length

Start at about 100-110 cm to start with. At your size I would think 100cm will be good but start longer and cut down as needed, just don't go too short straight away.

Since we're talking about poles what poles do you recommend? I don't really want to spend money on this things so the cheaper they are the better it is

Well there is your answer ,for park the quality of the poles doesn't really matter since they will get bent/break anyway, sooner or later. The only thing you might want to look for are poles with thinner grips which will make grabs somewhat easier
