I say "somewhat similar" since the American national parks are not the same as those of other countries, and the confusion in terminology and purpose is one of the themes to which this paper is addressed.

 Unasylva - No. 127 - Wood-based panels - Transfrontier parks
The Tatras National Park was established in 1948 on the Czechoslovakian side and in 1954 on the Polish side, the Pieniny Park in 1967 and 1954 respectively, and that of Karkonosze in 1963 and 1959.
The transfrontier park concept is clearly an attractive one, and it is hoped that concerted action by states may turn contiguity to the best possible account by cooperating in the management of frontier parks.
The new park is not the outcome of an international treaty but of two distinct national laws, one adopted on 2 May by the United States Congress, the other by the Canadian Parliament on 26 May of that year.
