And not every official building has every service (you may have to visit
the OTHER ranger station for the type of permit you need, for example).

Parks commonly have multi-service official buildings with some combination
of  isitor/exhibit/permit/police/campground/interpretive/wildlife services.

Key questions seem to be:
1) What are these called in various parts of the world?
2) What symbol is used on printed maps?
3) Is the distinction between types sufficiently clear and important to be
tagged?
4) Is there a better English language generic term other than
"ranger_station".
