A national monument has a designation due to an individuals dedication to the USA or an individuals service to the USA, and a national park is a particular designated land that serves the greater good of the of the public space.

The monuments tend to be smaller and be centered around a person or object. The parks tend to be larger and be centered around the nature of the area.
The monuments are generally paying tribute to something. I don't see any Nat. Monuments in Hawaii...
