If your Duolingo score is below Park's level

The exemptions page lists other routes, including an ESL completion certificate from a US centre such as ELS Level 112 or The Language Company Level 9, 24 non-ESL credit hours at a regionally accredited US institution, or set SAT or ACT scores. Graduate applicants can also use a bachelor's degree taught in English.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Park University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
