i am looking at getting a 2 day park to park plus a free day ticket for 226.88
Is the free day also park to park?
How do I get the tickets?
Is this the best deal for 3 park to park day ticket?

From the UC website:

When you purchase this 2-Day Universal Part-to-Park Ticket - plus extra day free, we'll automatically upgrade it to a (3 day), free of charge. It is a regular (3 day) ticket, exactly the same as a (3 day) ticket that you could buy from the Universal Orlando gate.

Redemption
Real Tickets - Go straight to the gate and onto the rides. No will call exchange necessary… it's ok to smile. The Frog Family likes to get hoppin'!
E-Tickets - Go straight to the gate and onto the rides. No will call exchange necessary… it's ok to smile. The Frog Family likes to get hoppin'! Please print your E-Tickets and take them with you! Otherwise the Front Gate will tell you to stand in line at Guest Services! You must present a valid photo ID or credit card matching the lead guest name for identity verification at the gate.​

So essentially you are buying a 3-day park-to-park ticket for the price of a 2-day park-to-park ticket.
With regard to how you get the tickets, when you complete your purchase, you can choose to have "real tickets" mailed to you or have e-tickets emailed to you for you to print yourself. We have always chosen e-tickets and have never had a problem.

I always have an actual ticket mailed to me. Have used them several times with no problems. I'm not positive if it is the best deal, it does include tax and shipping so if you are comparison shopping make sure you compare apples to apples, as they say.

You can also pick-up the tickets when you get to Orlando. It is north of Universal, in a little strip mall, at a UPS store. The last time I went the e-tickets were not an option.

If you pick the etickets, make a few copies of them

This way you have extra with you in case the bar code is creased or wet making it unable to be scanned

Since the shipping is included with UT, I have only ever had them mailed to us. The only time I wouldn't is if you are cutting it too close to your departure time.
