Skyscraper National Park is the third album by Canadian singer-songwriter Hayden. It was released on Hardwood Records in Canada, on Badman Recording Co. in the U.S., on Loose Music in the U.K., and on Massive! in Japan. There were two limited-edition pressings of this album. The first, comprising only 100 copies, was mainly for Hayden's friends and family. The second, comprising 1,500 copies, was sold on Hayden's cross-Canada tour.[3]

The album title comes from Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slapstick.
