Morphology

Theodore + Roosevelt + national + park

The phrase is a proper-name construction combining a personal name with the compound noun 'national park', so its meaning — a government-run park named for Theodore Roosevelt — is directly derivable from the parts. A B1 learner who knows 'national' and 'park' will understand it denotes a state-run park named after a person even if they lack details about Roosevelt or the park's location.

Etymology

Theodore Roosevelt National Park was named for Theodore Roosevelt, a U.S. 'president' who owned a nearby 'ranch' and loved the wild badlands. He rode horses there and worked to protect those lands, so the park now preserves the prairie and badlands he cared for and keeps his name as a reminder.
