More detail
The U.S. National Park Service oversees 391 "units," but many of these are historical parks and national cemeteries, and not focused on wildlife. There is much wildlife to be observed in some historical sites (Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma, San Diego, CA, is rich in wildlife), but many of the historical sites are devoid of wildlife (you won't find much at the Lincoln Memorial, for instance).
Separate from the National Parks Service is the Fish and Wildlife Service, which administers national wildlife REFUGES. All are designated solely for the preservation of wildlife (hunting is banned, for instance), but many are quite beautiful in their own right. About 555 of these refuges are in the U.S.

What are all the national parks found in new york?
There are no officially named National Parks in New York State, although there are other named sites managed by the National Park Service, such as the Castle Clinton National Monument and African Burial Ground National Monument. Although these are among the more than 400 sites managed by the National Park Service, they are not "official" National Parks, like Grand Canyon or Yosemite, or Yellowstone, or Olympic. Some consider this a technicality, as many states claim all of there National Park Service managed sites as National Parks. State Parks are not on the same level as National Parks, although Adirondack Park in New York is larger than most offical National Parks, and is also most certainly impressive.
