Both the table and index have parallel attributes (user_tables.degree, user_indexes.degree). In order to have the possibility of parallel access, the degree needs to be >1 or a hint has to be used (PARALLEL for tables, PARALLEL_INDEX for indexes). In the plan I sent, you can see the parallel index range scan as well as the parallel partition scans.
