the arch itself is okay, but then it's just a middling riverfront park with a museum surrounded by the ghetto devastation of modern st. louis. and LOL @ going to the top of the arch and gazing east across the river to east st. louis. shit looks like bomber harris worked it over the previous night.

Wtf didn't know they had classified it as a NP this year. Why not classify as a national monument instead?

i'm pretty sure it was, but people in congress wanted to promote it for some reason. similar to how Cuyahoga Valley became a national park in 2000 because the democrats thought it would help gore win ohio in the election.

An urban area like that has absolutely no business being a national park. Really pissed they did this.

there was a semi-cheeky proposal in the 90's to buy up a bunch of abandoned detroit skyscrapers and turn them into a national park, but everyone thought it was nuts.

Weird. Wonder if there were any other national parks completely within one city.

no; there are only 60 national parks total. they're supposed to be the "best" of the hundreds of assorted "national X" preserves. although virgin islands park is pretty much just the portion of st. john island that isn't taken up by towns/villages.

There are other kinds of parks located in cities that are operated by the National Park Service (like the Mall, White House grounds, etc. in DC), but none are "National Parks"
