What’s more exciting than Batman or a pirate ship? A national park, of course! And what better way to celebrate the National Park Service’s 100th birthday in 2016 than with Lego sets that let you build some of the USA’s most beloved parks out of little plastic bricks.

The national park sets were designed by LegoRanger16, also known as Gavin Gardner, and are some of thousands of proposed new sets on the Lego Ideas web page. Build a bridge overlooking the Brooks River and a fishing grizzly bear in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Construct a shady palm tree over a snapping American alligator in the Everglades. Create a mini Saguaro National Park, complete with a tiny plastic hawk, snakes, and the iconic giant cacti of the Sonoran Desert. Each set would come with a friendly, smiling, khaki-bedecked park ranger and a suitably astonished park guest.

The colorful vignettes will hopefully be released in 2016 and are Gardner’s way of commemorating the anniversary of the National Park Service and inspiring people to visit the 58 national parks that now draw nearly 300 million guests each year. Gardner is currently employed at Massachusetts’ only national park, the Springfield Armory National Historic Site, but he has worked at parks and monuments across the nation—he and his wife met while he was working in Death Valley.

“Being such parkies, we thought, wouldn’t it be great if there were national park sets?” says Gardner. Through all the park-hopping, his big bin of Legos has followed him, just waiting to be busted out of the closet. The idea for national park Legos came to him while Christmas shopping for his kids and is quickly gaining momentum online, with more than 3,000 supporters and just under a year to draw more votes. Each idea must win the approval of 10,000 Lego Ideas members before it is submitted to a panel of marketers and engineers and, ideally, accepted for production. Fans of the project think the sets would sell well in national park gift shops and are already calling for more sets, like an orange-and-brown-brick Arches National Park and a Yellowstone geyser scene with an on-looking bison.

“I still can’t get Old Faithful to look right,” Gardner says. Capturing the awesome size of some parks has proved a perplexing task, even on long Massachusetts snow days. “How do you boil Yosemite down to 10 by 16 inches? How do you make Half Dome that size?” he says.

Gardner’s Lego dream? “Can you imagine a room-sized Grand Canyon? It would be ridiculous!” Gardner says. “The variations of the geologic layers, the river down below, all the little hikers—to capture that would be difficult but amazing.”

It may not be on the top of every kid’s wish list, but building the wilds brick-by-brick is certainly on our bucket list.
