Best Answer

If the park is a federally-run site (like Zion National Park in Utah), it was closed during the shutdown. If it is run by the state, or by a city (like a local zoo), it was generally unaffected and remained open. As the shutdown dragged on, a few national sites like the Statue of Liberty did re-open, with the state temporarily paying the expense of keeping it operating.

Should you capitalize state parks as in Washington State Parks?

Usually you would not, if you are talking about parks in general. If you are not talking about a specific park, then the state parks in Washington would be referred to as the Washington state parks. Say that there is such a thing as the Washington State Parks Commission (I have no idea; I just made it up) Then you would refer to this commission as the Washington State Parks Commission.


Do US state-level governments shutdown by default if the US federal government shuts down?

NOT EXACTLY. The US Government Shutdowns refer exclusively to the US Federal Budgetary obligations. In theory, the US State Governments should not be affected, since their own budgets operate based on votes and balancing on a state level. However, in the US, most state governments receive a large percentage of their funds from the federal government. As a result, a number of state government functions are frozen or have their funds reallocated to make up for the shortfall from the federal government. Additionally, many of the government employees that people are familiar with are actually federal employees, such as local branch offices of federal executive agencies, post office workers, and the people who run national parks and monuments.
