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.
