Aha, that's a boundary tag, not an area tag, which is where I was
looking... however, that just draws a line boundary. What if you'd
like to have the National Park as a filled area? We can get filled
areas which depict land use for things like commercial use,
residential use, etc.

Most paper and digital maps depict National Parks as filled green
areas, it's somewhat of a standard that most people would immediately
identify.
