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

National:
*: *belonging to or maintained by the federal government

    I think the entire "national_park" tag is unfortunate, as it wraps
    up a
    lot of concepts that vary by country, and makes people understand

    when they don't.  In the US, it should mean "preserve the land while
    allowing access and enjoyment", there is a notion that the place is
    relatively distinguished, and it doesn't really have a connotation of
    size.


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.
