The correct form of the verb in this sentence is...

"Attached are two pictures took (NOT taken?) at the the park."

To use the past participle, one NEEDs a auxilary verb?

This is correct:

Attached are two pictures taken at the park.

In some cases, like this one, the auxiliary is not needed. Taken at the park is a nonfinite clause-- the auxiliary has been omitted: Attached are two pictures [that were] taken at the park.
