I don't use it. Waste of time to place a city and wait on the forests for National Park. ITs a useless wonder that appears cool on paper but really provides no significant opportunity to implement in a real game situation. I'd rather chop those forests far early and build a thriving economy in that city with valuable improvements. I think I've used it once in my last 20 games. Its lame.
PS for those who put it with national epic, I disagree. I always place my National EPic in my most productive city which usually doubles as a wonder farm and Consequentially a GP farm. The other national wonder I stick there is ussually iron works later. This way can farm GE and make strong runs at the late game powerful wonders like Stat of Lib, cristo, pentagon, eiffel tower, and gorges.
Another possibility is to stick national wonder with my wall street and farm merchants. GM can be settled for even more food which means more GPP and lots more money.
The only thing I can think of as being consistently useful situation for a NP is the tundra instance you guys brought up. However, I don't think thats much of a situation for a national wonder. I personally don't try to spend much time making tundra's productive. Its going too far out of the way. There's plenty of valuable land.
