Just tagging the underlying landtypes and uses is fine (aside from most of them not being natural) but doesn't at all account for the difference between scrubland/seashore/whatever where you will be shot to death if you trespass (military installations) and that which you're free to roam around on and is designated a park.

Through a quick discussion on #osm I'm going with boundary=national_park (for all parks that aren't urban parks), admin_level="whatever the operator level is", operator="whoever the operator is" and ownership="whoever the owner is" parsing that out to re-tag it consistently later should be relatively trivial.
