What followed was the role of Bridie on the sitcom Rab C. Nesbitt, in which she was introduced in season five as Gash's girlfriend's sister but eventually gets pregnant to Gash and giving birth to a baby girl, Peaches. Park played the role of Bridie until she series ended in 1999 at the end of season eight, however, she did return for seasons nine and ten when the series was later revived in 2008. Before she received the role as Bridie, she played another character on the series, that of Rena, in one episode as Rab's sister in a flashback sequence. In 1999 and 2000, Park appeared in three separate guesting roles of the Scottish children's television series Hububb, with Elaine C. Smith, her co-star on Rab C. Nesbitt.

In September 2004, more tragedy followed as Park was again rushed to hospital where it was discovered she had pancreatitis.
