I'm trying to find a quarter album that has every state, region AND national park represented. Failing that, I'd go for an album with just regions and national parks. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

I don't believe anyone has an album that combines state, region, and national park. Most all companies have separate albums for statehood and national parks. And some companies have separate albums for statehood and regions. A few have a region page you could add to a statehood album.

Just to be clear .. when you say region .. do you mean 2009 Territory quarters?

There are several sites that sell coin albums. like Wizard, Jakes or Dansco album store. I use Dansco albums, some that I have are State Quarters - Date set .. one quarter for each state - "P and D" album .. P/D quarter for each state - P/D/S/silver S .. four quarters for each state In my experience, some albums come with the Territory page or it can be added. For Park quarters there are the same options as the State Quarter albums. I also have a Album that is for just Territory quarters, P/D/S and silver "S", 2 pages, four quarters, for each of the six 2009 quarters. It is possible to purchase a blank album, with no pages. Then put what ever pages you want into it. Here is a Link to Wizard's site .. to show some of the options. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro.../index3.html

Do you plan on collecting quarters from each mint as well? Traditionally quarters came from Denver or Philadelphia with San Francisco pressing proofs. In 2012 the San Francisco mint started to press circulation quality NIFC quarters for the America the Beautiful series. That's another item for consideration. I bought 2 state & territory quarter albums from Whitman, one for D and the other for P. Later I found a single quarter album for both mints, oh well. As for the ATB Quarters, I bought 2 albums from the US Mint for the P&D quarters and I buy rolls and bags of S-ATB quarters.

I've not heard of such an album, but (Like GR58 said) you could build your own with blank quarter pages. To do so would probably take at least one album to do it just considering the sheer number of coins.
If you're only collecting one of each (not worrying about proofs or mint marks), then states + territories + NPs = 50+6+56 = 112 coins. You could get that into one nicely full album. That's also assuming that the NP program isn't renewed after Alabama in 2021.
But go beyond that and add one from each circulation MM, proofs, silvers, etc. and you start to get a very big, heavy, unwieldy album.

They should manufacture ones.

It wouldn't make financial sense for an album company to manufacture an album for every permutation of a collection. It would be nice if they would let you order a custom one, but I've never heard of such an option and that would likely be very expensive.
That's why so many folks here just do 2x2's on their own.

Possibly order a blank Whitman cover and blank quarter pages. Then order those letter/number press on sheets Whitman sells and make your own Album. This way you could put anything you want in that Album.

You also have the problem that with these long programs the manufacturers never know when the mint is going to throw a monkey wrench into the works. Half way through the State Quarters they introduced the satin finish coins, do you make a new album that holds them too? If so your old albums are obsolete. Then at the end here came the Territory quarters, they weren't planned for either. Do you make new albums adding on to the State Quarters, give them their own one year album, or just sell one page that there is hopefully enough room they can ad it to their albums? Of course some albums don't have that "add a page" capability. Then comes the ATB Quarters. Did they have satin finish in 2010, I don't remember, but if they did and you made albums allowing for them oops sorry they are gone now and your album has extra holes. And if they didn't what happens in the third year of the program S mint business strike quarters that you don't have holes for. so once again all your albums are obsolete. And I would not be surprised if we don't see another change before the end of the program that makes the albums obsolete once again. The album manufacturer really can't win. To keep for making albums that don't hold the set properly they need to wait until it is over. But collectors want albums to put their coins in now, not ten years from now. But if the mint makes a change and the collector has to buy a new album to replace his obsolete one who does he get mad at? Not the mint. He gets mad at the album manufacturer for selling him an album that wouldn't hold the whole set and now he has to buy another one.
