Since chalking up his 49th centre title winning the Wanganui open singles earlier this month, Park has had asked the question many a time - how long before you to get to 50?
"People ask like it's a formality, but you still have to win it and that adds pressure," Park said.
The milestone was far from his mind when he began playing lawn bowls 35 years ago, aged 28.
Park is clearly the most successful bowler in the Wanganui centre but does not know where that record sits at national level.
"I'm sure there must be others out there with a better record, possibly in the smaller centres, but I don't know," Park said modestly.
In Saturday's clash the Parks managed to take the lead early in the match and despite having their chances, Savage and Watty could not claw back the deficit - in fact, they drifted further afield as the Parks took control.
"In the end it was a comfortable win, but it could have just as easily been a lot closer if Ray and Michael had taken their chances and they are always certainly capable of it," Clint Park said yesterday.
His father agreed the final scoreline was no reflection of Saturday's game.
"Yes, they could have taken points in several ends during the day, but didn't capitalise on their chances," he said.
Park gets the chance this week to build on his excellent record when he travels to Invercargill to compete in the national playoffs in the fours.
And what better company to be in than fours teammates, son Clint and Saturday's opponents Savage and Watty.
"It would be nice to think we can add another title."
Park has two national titles to his credit - with Clint in a pairs and a foursome four years back.
