を marks the direct object of the verb.
Here, the verb is 置く (おく) = to put / place / leave.
So 自転車を置く means to put/leave the bicycle.
In other words:
- 自転車 = bicycle
- を = marks what is being acted on
- 置く = to place / leave
So 自転車を tells you that the bicycle is the thing being left in the parking area.
With 置く, に marks the place where something is placed.
So:
- 駐輪場に置く = put/leave it in the bicycle parking area
This is different from で, which often marks the place where an action happens.
But with verbs of placement like 置く, に is the normal choice because it marks the destination/location where the object ends up.
Compare:
- 机に本を置く = put a book on the desk
- 部屋で勉強する = study in the room
So in this sentence, 駐輪場に is the correct grammar.
