    Agreed.<br>
    'National Park' is very specific.   We have national parks and we
    have state, county, regional ... parks.  <br>

              I think the entire "national_park" tag is unfortunate, as
              it wraps up a<br>
              lot of concepts that vary by country, and makes people
              understand things<br>
              when they don't.  In the US, it should mean "preserve the
              land while<br>
              allowing access and enjoyment", there is a notion that the
              place is<br>
              relatively distinguished, and it doesn't really have a
              connotation of<br>

        <div dir="auto">I agree, the national_park tag is rather
          unfortunate, some other tag should be used to connote state or
          national parks in an easily distinguishable fashion while not
          making it excessively difficult to find parks in general. 
          With the existing national park tag, I'd use it for national
          (US and indian tribal), but not state parks.</div>
