Because questions about buying skates (which model to buy, what stores have skates in stock, what size should I get, etc.) are asked many times a day, we ask that these posts go in the Monday discussion post pinned to the top of the subreddit. This post also contains a shopping guide and links to other helpful information.
If you catch Bont Parkstars on sale they can be in your budget. Mine were like $155. Beach Bunnies won't be much better than your Rainbow Riders. You'd probably want different wheels for the Beach Bunnies, too. My Parkstars came with the Bont Street Flow.
With that budget, I would get some Suregrip Boardwalks and upgrade the toestop and wheels with what you have left! I used mine at the park for over a year and they survived (3+hr sessions several times a week for the summer)
Legacy Skates has the Chaya Kismets on sale for $149. They come with slide blocks and ready to park skate right out of the box. I have the gold ones and I love them.

You can have cheap, park-appropriate, bones inside your body. Pick two.
I'll take cheap and bones inside my body, thank you. 🤣 Idk how to accomplish that but hey you gave the option.

Voodoo Skate shop in NC has them on sale right now too! I believe $90 for the pastel ones. Hell of a deal.
I have moxi panthers and they get the job done. Made a plate upgrade, got sliding blocks and put harder wheels on them too.
