bumps off

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'removes' is the definition.
('bump off' can be a synonym of 'remove')

'tramps around park getting high' is the wordplay.
'tramps' becomes 'bums' ('bum' can be a synonym of 'tramp').
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'park getting' becomes 'p' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'high' becomes 'off' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bums' going around 'p' is 'bumps'.
'bumps'+'off'='BUMPS OFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for bumps off that I've seen is " murders".)
