National Heritage Areas (NHAs), while administered by the National Park Service, are not National Parks. To quote from the NPS website[0]:
NHAs are not national park units. Rather, NPS partners with, provides technical assistance, and distributes matching federal funds from Congress to NHA entities. NPS does not assume ownership of land inside heritage areas or impose land use controls.
