National park visitor statistics — how many people visited a park. Answers “how many people visited Yellowstone”, “NPS visitation numbers”, “annual visitors to Grand Canyon”, “busiest national park”, “park attendance by month”. Monthly + annual recreation and total visitor counts from the NPS Visitor Use Statistics service (keyless). Pass a park name or 4-letter code (e.g., YELL, GRCA, GRSM) and a year, or system_total:true for the whole national park system. Example: {“park”:“yellowstone”,“year”:2023}.
