On February 28, 2006 a statue of Rosa Parks was placed in the National Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. after a unanimous vote by the House and Senate in 2005.
The National Parks Service has made no annoucement on when they will re-open the monument.
Washington is home to several national parks and monuments, including Olympic National Park, known for its diverse ecosystems and stunning landscapes, and Mount Rainier National Park, featuring the iconic stratovolcano. Additionally, the San Juan Islands National Historical Park preserves the unique cultural and natural history of the area. Other notable designations include the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, which commemorates the expedition's journey through the region.
Washington DC is the national capital so it is natural to put national monuments in the capital. The city was literally designed out of a swampy land to be the location for national focus. In the 50 states there are national monuments, parks, federal parks, and historical sites.
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.
Yes, some national parks and monuments are within urban areas.
Pullman Washington has 17 parks.
