To correct the faulty parallelism in the sentence, we must change it into "On our vacation we went swimming and hiking, but we didn't go to the amusement park."

<h3>What is parallelism?</h3>

Parallelism, also called parallel structures, refers to the repetition of grammatical structures in a sentence with the purpose of improving the flow and understanding of that sentence.

For example, if you mention three activities after the main verb of a sentence, and the first two activities use -ing, the last one should also use -ing for the sentence to have parallelism.

That is the problem with the sentence we are to correct here. Two activities have -ing, "swimming" and "hiking." But, "the amusement park" is not a verb and does not use -ing. Therefore, it should not be a part of the parallel structure.

To correct the sentence, we must create another clause to eliminate the attempt to make "amusement park" a parallel structure. Therefore, the correct answer would be: "On our vacation we went swimming and hiking, but we didn't go to the amusement park."
