Talk:List of the United States National Park System official units

message: After counting this several times, there are only 424 units listed, but says 425.  Do we change to 424 total or add the missing one?  I tried to figure out the missing one, but can not find it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.247.160 (talk) 06:41, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on updates: in this list, Oregon has 4 units listed, while nps.gov actually lists 10 ( http://home.nps.gov/applications/parksearch/state.cfm?st=or ) ... but some of them are multi-region units, so would they get listed under the individual states or not? Also, one Oregon unit (Fort Clatsop) has been incorporated into a newly created unit (Lewis & Clark National Historical Park)... but the wiki for Fort Clatsop still has valid info, the Fort is just no longer a unit by itself. I don't know what to do about that. Chamois-shimi 09:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I updated Lewis and Clark NHP (from Ft. Clatsop).  There are only 4 official units (of the ) in Oregon, as the map shows.  The others in the list are affiliated areas and things, and should be on the List of areas in the National Park System of the United States. Nationalparks 14:38, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The areas vs. units things is kind of confusing! Thanks for keeping track of things, and for changing that. :) Chamois-shimi 07:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't Yellowstone NP be listed as Wyoming/Idaho/Montana, or is there a reason to list it only in Wyoming? Mtford 20:13, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should include all three states, and now does. Should multi-state units list states alphabetically, by acreage of NPS area, or some other method? Yoho2001 (talk) 09:28, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Oklahoma City National Memorial isn't an official unit.  It's an NPS designated Affiliated Area, privately owned, with interpretation by NPS staff.  The reference document used as primary source for this even specifies such. This debate's been begun on other forums, but unless you're going to expand the list to a lot more than the 392 official, OKC shouldn't go here. And if it's included, it's not what the article title says "List of the United States National Park System Official units".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.35.14 (talk) 05:03, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: Nomenclature and linked page for the White House? In NPS Official documents it is shown variously as White House, White House and President's Park, President's Park (White House), and President's Park.  In the National Parks Index: 2012 - 2016 it is listed only as White House with no changes shown in the National Park Service Index Addendum (2016-2017) - Updated June 2017.
*On the NPS official web page it is shown as President's Park (White House) 
*The NPS offical management document, Foundation Document: The White House and President’s Park
*The offical document Reservation List calls Reservation #001 President's Park. This includes the White House grounds, Executive Office Building and grounds, Treasury Building and grounds, and the Ellipse. Reservation #010, Lafayette Square, is also shown as a part of President's Park.
Prior to 1933, when all public lands in the District were transferred to NPS, the area north of the White House was originally called President's Park, but came to be known as Lafayette Square. In 1933, the plots of land identified as Reservation 1 and Reservation 10 officially became President's Park.
I propose changing the name on the list from 'White House' to 'White House and President's Park' and change the link from 'White House', which is an article about the official residence, to 'President's Park', which is an article about the NPS managed properties.  White House and President's Park

message: Is World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument not an official unit? It's not listed here, yet appears on the List of Areas, and List of National Monuments, both showing it's under NPS administration. It has a webpage at nps.gov as well. While it comprises some existing elements of the 394 units, it also includes other areas in Pearl Harbor and the Aleutians. Yoho2001 (talk) 12:55, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I answered my own question: It's an official unit, absorbing USS Arizona National Memorial, and adding other parcels in Hawaii, Alaska, and California. I've removed USS Arizona NMem, and replaced it with this new NM, adding it under Alaska, with California and Hawaii listed afterward, following alphabetical order. However I notice Yellowstone's listing does not follow state alphabetical order, but instead puts it under Wyoming first. Are we listing multi-state units in alphabetical order, by acreage, or something else? Yoho2001 (talk) 09:20, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
