In short, federal tax dollars from American citizens fund the national parks directly. Congress determines what the NPS's budget will be. Parks are also funded by user fees, such as entrance or tour fees. In parks with user fees, the general manner in which the money is used is that tax dollars pay the workers' salaries and user fees go to infrastructure such as buildings or exhibits. Parks can also get extra money for special projects through other sources, such as road construction funding through federal highway spending. Parks additionally get money and support from friends groups, advocacy groups, and non-profits.

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.
