I like this better than calling a state park a national park. Tagging
them state parks with the national park tag is an abstract concept that
will just result in confusion. If the consensus is to tag them the
same then I suggest depracting the national park tag and coming up with
something else so it isn't confusing.

You can tag state parks like this:
boundary=protected_area + protect_class=2 + protection_title="State Park"
Protect Class 2 is the same type as National Parks, and will be
rendered and interpreted the same by most database users, but the
protection title makes it clear that it's actually a State Park, not a
National Park.
For county parks: many of these are small parks that are similar to a
usual urban park, with gardens, playgrounds, sports fields etc, and
can be tagged with leisure=park. Others are natural areas or nature
reserves, and could use boundary=protected_area + protect_class=5 +
protection_title="County Park".
State and National Forests, which are used for logging and grazing as
well as recreation, can be tagged as:
boundary=protected_area + protect_class=6 + protection_title="National
Forest" or "State Forest".
These features will all be rendered the same as boundary=national_park
and leisure=nature_reserve in many renderings styles, but it's nice to
be a little more specific.
