A system for parking a vehicle in a location that is not defined by parking lines or by surrounding vehicles. In one example, the system comprises a user interface, an electromagnetic radiation sensor, and an electronic controller. The electronic controller receives information about the vehicle's surroundings via the electromagnetic radiation sensor. The electronic controller also receives a desired parking location via the user interface. Using the information about the vehicle's surroundings and the desired parking location the electronic controller creates a virtual parking boundary and determines reference points. As the electronic controller moves the vehicle into a parking location the electronic controller tracks the reference points, determines the distance between the vehicle and the parking location, and detects obstructions in the parking location or in the vehicle's path to the parking location.
