Stanton Park, previously known as Stanton Square, is a national park in Washington D.C.[1] It is located at the intersection of Maryland Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Northeast, Washington, D.C.
North and south of the park are the respective westbound and eastbound lanes of C Street, NE.
The park is named after Edwin M. Stanton,[1] the United States Secretary of War during the American Civil War,[2] whose attempted later removal prompted the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.
Located in the center of Stanton Park is a statue of American Revolutionary War Major General Nathanael Greene.
