There are four key parks in the system: Folger Park, named after former Secretary of the Treasury Charles J. Folger; Lincoln Park, named after the sixteenth president, and by far the largest unit at 7 acres (28,000 m2); Marion Park, named after Revolutionary War leader Francis Marion; Stanton Park, named for Lincoln's Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton. The Capitol Hill Parks include several park areas east of the U.S. Capitol. Included in this group are Folger, Lincoln, Stanton, and Marion Parks, the Eastern Market and Potomac Avenue Metro stations, and several smaller land parcels such as Seward Square, Twining Square, the Maryland Avenue Triangles, the Pennsylvania Avenue Medians, and 59 inner-city triangles and squares.
