List of the United States National Park System official units
January 01, 1970
The Official Units of the National Park System of the United States is the collection of physical properties owned or administered by the National Park Service.
As of December 2023, there are 429 official units of the National Park System;[1] however, this number can be misleading. For example, Denali National Park and Preserve are counted as two units, since the same name applies to a national park and an adjacent national preserve. Yet Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve is counted as one unit, despite its double designation. Counting methodology is rooted in the language of a park's enabling legislation. Furthermore, the NPS contributes resources to "affiliated areas" which do not fall under its administration, and these do not count toward the official list number. An example is Oklahoma City National Memorial.
