All of them if I get my way.

WTF would you want that!?!

Because he doesn't like to leave the house or engage in outdoor activity from all accounts he's put on the forum.

I am a libertarian.  I am a member of the Libertarian Party of Illinois.  Indeed I once held a position in the state party, and even I see the benefit of state and national parks.

As a wise man once said:

"It's very sweet, Leslie, and the national park service is probably the only branch of government worth a damn. But Diane and I are quite happy raising our family here. Now if you'll excuse me there is a booth over there serving something called fried sausage quilts, so I'm going to buy the booth."

Minnesota has 16 former state parks; most of them were glorified city parks that were given back to those cities.

Do you have a list/source for those? I'm curious to know what/where they were.

Check out the Wikipedia article on Minnesota state parks. I was personally aware of Traverse Des Sioux State Park in St. Peter being downgraded to city park status.

Wikipedia has a decent page showing what disbanded National Parks/Monuments/Ect are out there and what they ultimately became:
