This was a station on the Waverley railway line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waverley_Route . It was built in 1941 for workers at RAF Kingstown (renamed RAF Carlisle after the war, latterly 14 Maintenance Unit). The railway and halt (with a footbridge over the track) can be seen in this aerial photo of the 14MU complex taken in 1946 https://britainfromabove.org.uk/image/eaw000294 . Parkhouse Halt was not intended for use by the general public. It closed along with the rest of the Waverley route in 1969. For more detailed information, see the Disused Stations website http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/p/park_house_halt/index.shtml . Today a shared-use path occupies the former railway trackbed, running north to south through Kingmoor Nature Reserve.
