A brief update: I have blown the dust off of a relevant wiki, https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_States_Public_Lands , started over eight years ago and hardly touched since then. As originally written, this addressed federal (admin_level=2) public lands only. Mainly, it still does, though my recent "beefing up" of it does begin to edge into state parks (admin_level=4) also having consensus that boundary=national_park is an appropriate tag. As it also mentions that leisure=park (admin_level=8, largely) is appropriate on "urban" (municipal) parks, it reveals the obvious hole: OSM in the USA has yet to tackle the now-difficult question of what to do on "county parks" (and county beaches, etc.) at admin_level=6.
So, that wiki might be the primary place to discuss, enrich, contribute ideas. There are links there to the (just born) park:type wiki, which seems that while it may live on as a "crutch" tagging style (there are thousands of examples in use), park:type should eventually move towards deprecation as better consensus emerges. Please at least read this brief wiki and think about how we might better tag county parks.
