<reasoning>

Identify the vertex of the parabola

The graph is a downward-opening parabola. The highest point (vertex) represents the maximum value of the function.

Read the coordinates of the vertex

Looking at the grid, the peak of the curve occurs at:
\[
x = 3
\]
\[
y = 2
\]
Thus, the vertex is located at the coordinate point \((3, 2)\).

Match with the given options

The coordinate point representing the maximum value is \((3, 2)\).
