I got ya.

There's a lot of blurring of what is a National Park and what isn't. Lots of things that aren't National Parks are administered by the NPS. The urban park across the street from my last office building was administered by the NPS. The guys who emptied the trash cans and mowed the lawn wore NPS uniforms. But I wouldn't call that urine soaked, pigeon infested urban park a national park. To me, a park isn't a National Park unless it has "National Park" as part of its name.
