It has not engaged in PARK a few times before, but it has happened infrequently.
Is this likely to be a linkage problem, or is it the parking pawl assembly?

With the keeper on the shifter down-rod loosened, put the transmission pivot and the shift indicator in P. If it holds in P, tighten the shifter down-rod keeper. If not, be sure the pivot assembly is not turning, independent of the pivot shaft, going into the transmission housing.
